About BOA Digital Technologies Academy

BOA Digital Technologies Academy received a Requires Improvement rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in March 2025. This is the school's first graded inspection under its current leadership, so there is no previous rating to compare it against. The inspection report paints a mixed picture: leadership and management, along with the quality of education, were both judged to require improvement, while behaviour and attitudes, and personal development, were rated Good. The sixth form was not judged. The most telling academic metric available is the school's Progress 8 score, which is not provided in the data, but the local authority average Progress 8 for Birmingham is 0.09, meaning the typical school in the area helps pupils achieve slightly above the national average. Given the Ofsted findings, it is reasonable to expect that BOA's own Progress 8 score is below this local benchmark, though the exact figure is not published here.
