The Ofsted visit in January 2026 found that Smith's Wood Academy is the most improved school in England – after a dramatic and fast-paced turnaround. Key points from the report included that: "Staff know that their wellbeing and professional development matters deeply to leaders: They value the training that they receive and the opportunities that they have to pursue leadership qualifications. Leaders have ensured that staff and pupils benefit from a happy and collaborative place to learn and work."

They speak positively about the support and care that they receive from staff. Pupils feel safe and well looked after."
