What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
Pupils thrive in this caring and inclusive community. The school has high expectations for pupils, setting them on the path for 'learning for life'. Pupils typically achieve and behave well. They are enthusiastic about learning and try hard to do their best. The school promotes its values of 'pride, kindness, diversity and community' well. These values help pupils successfully learn how to treat others. Pupils demonstrate an excellent understanding of equality and equity. They are inclusive of each other and respectful of difference. They ensure that everyone feels valued. Pupils show empathy and understanding in how they support each other. Pupils take great care of their environment. They love winning the 'shiny shovel' award for the tidiest classroom. Pupils look forward to the celebration barbecue for the winning classes. Children settle quickly into the early years, building confidence and independence. They benefit from thoughtful support from staff who know them well. Pupils know staff will listen to them if they have a worry. They appreciate access to the 'well-being hub' when they need a bit of extra help. Pupils feel safe in school. Parents and carers are highly complimentary about the school, with comments such as 'we love Tadley School' being typical of many.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, in some foundation subjects, the activities pupils are given do not focus well enough on subject-specific content they need to learn and remember. This means that, in those subjects, pupils are not learning as well as they could. The school should ensure that learning focuses on the intended knowledge and skills so pupils learn and remember more.
- In some wider curriculum subjects, the checks on what pupils are learning are not clear and precise enough. As a result, some gaps in pupils' knowledge are not identified or closed quickly enough. The school should ensure that assessment is used effectively in the foundation subjects to check pupils' understanding and secure the right knowledge in their long-term memory.
