About our Academy
The recent Ofsted report following an inspection in November 2024 concluded that Ninestiles, an Academy has taken effective action to maintain the standards identified at the previous inspection and when we were confirmed to be an ‘Good’. Some highlights from the report confirm that our learners do well socially and academically and respect others’ differences. Our pastoral care and the support given to learners is highly effective and all staff have high expectations of what our learners can achieve. The focus of the Academy is to work with our learners to secure good qualifications as well as preparing them to be good active citizens. Our Leadership team have thought carefully about the subjects our learner’s study and are offered a wide range of subjects at Key Stage 3. This prepares them well for the choices they make at Key Stage 4. A full range of subjects are offered at Key Stage 4, matched to pupils’ interests and ability. A strength of the school is the number of trips and activities offered to pupils. There are more than 70 clubs, including sport, music, art, drama and debating.
