From Ofsted report, inspected Apr 2025

Strengths

  • “Duke’s Aldridge has recently undergone a period of significant change.”
  • “Pupils have benefited from raised expectations of what they can achieve.”
  • “Pupils follow a curriculum that reflects the school’s vision of ‘inspire to excel’.”

To improve

  • “Over time, pupils with SEND have not consistently received the support they need to access and progress through the curriculum.”
  • “As a result, some of these pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
  • “The school should ensure that staff have the information and support they need to meet the specific needs of pupils with SEND.”
