Tarbiyyah Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 January 2024

This is a welcoming, friendly and happy place to be. Pupils are strongly encouraged to develop their personal and social skills. For example, pupils contribute to the local neighbourhood by litter picking in the local park and running an 'eco-refill shop' to provide affordable cleaning products to the local community. Pupils behave maturely and responsibly. They take pride in helping each other to understand the conduct that is expected. For example, older pupils naturally advise those younger how to look after their belongings and how to line up in an orderly manner. Pupils are happy and safe here. They care about each other. Pupils relish opportunities to share their ideas to improve the school and willingly participate in doing so. Recently, the pupil school council led a project to refurbish the outdoor space for children in the early years. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Leaders seek ways to improve the school regularly. Leaders and teaching staff frequently check how well pupils learn. This information is used to inform next steps in learning. Typically, pupils build secure knowledge of subjects.

What the school should improve

• Sometimes, teaching does not ensure that pupils know and remember the most important vocabulary that they will need for future learning. This hinders pupils' learning. The school must ensure that teaching routinely makes important vocabulary explicit in all subjects and that pupils are helped to recall and remember it long-term.
