Venture was inspected in 2025. These are just a few excerpts from the report. If you would like to read the full report, click this link Ofsted website or see the report below.

"Venture Academy is a place where staff have an unconditional positive regard for pupils.  Pupils appreciate how understanding staff are, which make them feel happy, safe and settled.  They know that staff have their best interests at hear and that they go above and beyond to help.  One pupil summed this up beautifully, describing teachers that 'know "about" us, not just "of" us'.  This is a school that is built on positive relationships along with compassion, ambition and partnership."

"The school has constructed a curriculum that is tailored to meet the individual needs of pupils."

"The extent to which the school supports pupils' personal development is exceptional."

"Considering the size of the school, the breadth of opportunities is simply cast."

"The tireless work to prepare pupils for their next steps in education or training is impressive."

"There is a real sense of belonging and commitment and a ceaseless drive to help improve the lives of pupils and their families."

"A positive culture in which everyone is pulling in the same direction in the best interests of pupils."
