A Section 5 Ofsted inspection was carried out at the Nottingham Academy in March 2012.  Lead Inspector Andrew Cook HMI, brought a team in over two days to look at all three sites of the Academy and both Primary and Secondary phases.

Meetings were held with groups of pupils, senior staff, the Chief Executive of the Greenwood Dale Foundation Trust and the Chair of the Academy council and 70 lessons and staff were observed during the visit.  Inspectors looked at the Academy's work and self-evaluation documents as well as the monitoring and tracking data.

Key Findings:
