Ofsted inspectors have highlighted encouraging signs of improvement at Jewellery Quarter Academy in Birmingham following a monitoring visit. The academy, which serves approximately 500 pupils, was previously rated 'inadequate' in two key areas—quality of education and leadership and management—in November 2024. However, after the March 2025 visit, inspectors noted significant enhancements in both attendance and behavior at the school located on Albion Street. The report emphasized that the trust responsible for the academy has ensured full staffing, including the recruitment of subject experts across the curriculum. Attendance levels have notably increased and are now nearing national averages, particularly benefiting disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Furthermore, the inspectors observed that both staff and students have a clear understanding of the school's behavior policy, which has led to heightened expectations regarding conduct. The report concluded that pupils are generally friendly and polite, marking a positive cultural shift within the academy. These improvements suggest a hopeful future for a school that was once considered among the lowest-rated secondary institutions in Birmingham.
