What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
There is a strong family feel at the school. The school's motto 'Together Everyone Achieves More' underpins daily life for 'TEAM Teath'. Pupils of all ages behave well. They play well together and look after one another. From the friendly welcome in the pre- school, to the more individual support for self-esteem in readiness for high school, pupils' personal development is paramount. The school has high expectations for all pupils. Staff know pupils individually. This leads to accurate identification of any barriers to learning. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have their needs met well. Pupils with lower attendance are supported to come to school. As a result, fewer pupils have gaps in their learning and pupils achieve well. Raising pupils' aspirations is at the heart of the school's work. 'Future Fridays' celebrate careers that are familiar to pupils. However, the school successfully provides pupils with wider experiences of exploring careers on a national and global scale. This helps to challenge stereotypes and promote curiosity. The school, with the support of the trust, have made improvements to the systems and processes which keep pupils safe. The culture of safeguarding at the school is secure.
What the school should improve
- The early years curriculum has not been designed with the needs of all pupils in mind. The granular knowledge that two, three and four-year-olds need to learn is in the early stages of implementation. Children in these age groups do not achieve as well as they could. The school should refine the curriculum so that children of pre-school age establish secure foundations for future learning.
- The school has not identified the most effective ways for staff to teach the curriculum. Consequently, staff do not consistently have the knowledge and skills they need to deliver learning effectively, including in the early years. The school must improve staff's pedagogical understanding, so that pupils of all ages and stages learn well.
