Temple Learning Academy: Leeds school lays out 'ambitious plans' for the future despite Ofsted downgrade

Temple Learning Academy, located on Neville Road in Wykebeck, was downgraded to Requires Improvement during its recent inspection – despite ranking as Good in four of the five key areas.

In their latest report published this week, Ofsted rated the all-through school as Good in the areas of behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and early years provision but a Requires Improvement grading in the quality of education was enough to see the school marked down.

The education watchdog said: “Temple Learning Academy is a positive and supportive place to learn. The school’s core value of respect is taken very seriously by staff and pupils. Pupils enjoy positive relationships with each other and bullying is very rare.

“Pupils behave well in lessons. Most pupils are very positive about their learning. Staff have the highest expectations for pupils’ character and conduct.”
