The Peer Review day on 8 May 2025 provided an opportunity to see first-hand, how the school continues to grow in strength and confidence. The feedback from those attending was overwhelmingly positive. Visitors were particularly impressed by how calmly students entered the school, how purposefully they moved around the site, and how focused and engaged they were in lessons. Many also commented on the high quality of teaching observed within disruption free classrooms throughout the day.

The Trust believes that the staff, students and parents of Ken Stimpson Academy should feel extremely proud of what has been achieved so far in their improvement journey. The school is clearly on a very positive trajectory, led by the Headteacher, Mr Whales, who has a clear and ambitious vision for the highest standards for all. This progress is a testament to the collective commitment and hard work of the whole school community.
