About Smawthorne Henry Moore Academy

Smawthorne Henry Moore Academy in Wakefield is a primary school that parents seem to trust. While the school data does not include a specific parent recommendation percentage, the school's oversubscription ratio is not provided in the available information, so we can't measure demand directly from that metric. However, the school's journey to its current Ofsted rating tells a reassuring story. In its most recent graded inspection in February 2020, the school was rated Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous inspection in October 2017 when it was rated Requires Improvement. This upward trajectory suggests a school that has addressed its weaknesses and is now on a firmer footing. The inspection report highlighted personal development as Outstanding, which is a strong signal that children are well-supported beyond just academic learning. Behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and the quality of education were all rated Good, while early years provision also received a Good rating.
