What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 February 2023
Tameside Primary Academy is a school where pupils and the school community are at the heart of everything leaders do. Leaders are ambitious for pupils. They ensure that pupils develop the knowledge and skills to be confident in life beyond school. Pupils flourish at this school. Leaders have high expectations from the moment children join in early years. Children excel and become confident readers and mathematicians and have a thirst for learning. Pupils relish the opportunities that the school opens up to them. They enjoy well- planned trips and residential opportunities. Leaders ensure that all pupils have equal access to these trips, making any adaptations needed for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils behave well and have excellent manners. Lessons are rarely disrupted. Pupils are extremely tolerant of, and respectful towards, others. They embrace diversity and say, 'All people are welcome here.' If bullying does occur, leaders deal with it effectively. They work closely with pupils to educate them about the impact of bullying. This helps to minimise any future fallings-out. Pupils are supported to feel safe through the school counsellor and the range of 'trusted adults' who help to look after them.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not identified the precise knowledge that they want pupils to learn. This means that pupils do not remember more of the curriculum in these subjects. Leaders should make sure that they identify the important knowledge that they want pupils to learn in these subjects.
- Some subject leaders have not had the opportunity to monitor the impact of the curriculum in their subjects. This means that leaders are not clear about how well pupils learn the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that all subject leaders have the opportunity to monitor pupils' learning.
- Too many pupils are regularly absent from school for long periods. This means that they do not learn as much as they should. Leaders should continue to work closely with families to ensure that pupils attend school regularly.
