What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 September 2022
Tanworth-in-Arden CofE Primary School is at the heart of its village community. Pupils are proud of the school and value the quality of education it provides. Pupils live the school motto: 'In God's family living, growing, learning to be our best'. Pupils are happy and safe and they attend school regularly. Incidents of bullying are rare. Leaders respond well to any concerns that pupils have. Leaders ensure that the curriculum meets the personal and academic needs of pupils. Pupils enjoy reading. A range of enrichment activities, such as after-school clubs, trips and visits, allow pupils to develop their talents and interests. Sports clubs, including hockey, football, netball, tennis and cricket, allow pupils to develop physical and competitive skills. Educational trips allow pupils to build on their learning in the classroom. Leaders ensure that pupils' behaviour is managed consistently and fairly across the school. Pupils are polite and courteous. Leaders expect all pupils to do their best. Pupils meet these expectations. They work hard and concentrate in lessons. The majority of parents and carers are extremely positive about the school.
What the school should improve
- Curriculum development is relatively new in a minority of subjects. Leaders have not evaluated what pupils know and remember. Leaders should support subject leaders to check pupils' learning in these subjects to ensure that pupils know and remember more over time.
- The correct support is not put in place quickly enough for a small number of pupils. As a result, some pupils do not get the help they need soon enough to ensure they are successful. Leaders need to review provision to ensure that all pupils with SEND get the help and support they need to achieve well in school.
