What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Pupils walk into Tarleton Holy Trinity Church of England Primary School with a spring in their step in the morning. They are happy to attend this warm and nurturing school. Leaders have established a compassionate environment where everyone respects everyone else. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. This helps pupils, and children in early years, to feel safe and happy. Pupils enjoy playing in the school's beautiful grounds. They play well together. Leaders do not tolerate bullying. If it occurs, they deal with it quickly and effectively. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and learning, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils consistently rise to meet these aspirations. Their behaviour and positive attitudes towards learning contribute to their strong achievement. The early years phase prepares children well for the next stages in their learning. Pupils welcome the opportunities that help them to develop their learning beyond the classroom. These have included a trip to Liverpool Museum and residential visits to Wales. Older pupils relish taking on leadership positions, such as being buddies to younger children. Pupils enjoy the clubs that staff organise, for example the 3-D printing club and the church choir sessions.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have made recent refinements to the curriculum. This means that these subjects are less well developed than others and changes are not fully embedded. In these subjects, some teaching does not implement the refined curriculums consistently well. Leaders should ensure that teaching reflects changes to the curriculum so that recent gains in pupils' learning are sustained in the longer term.
