Our Journey to achieving Outstanding!

How Oulton Academy achieved Outstanding

At each milestone in each area of the academy it is vital that we reflect on our progress in an open and transparent manner so that we know what we are implementing for your child, our students, is right and reflects best practise. 

Each area of academy work is externally validated against national awards, kitemarks and scrutiny by external school improvement advisors, Lead Oftsed Inspectors and educational research which is evidenced based using various frameworks (Education Endowment Foundation, Sutton Trust, Huntington Research School et al). 

On the following award pages, you will see the work we have undertaken in various areas of the academy and where appropriate the accompanying report. Please note that regardless of how well the reports read and the acclaim the academy receives, we never stop trying to improve further.
