What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 June 2022
Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including vulnerable pupils and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders support pupils to learn about careers. This develops their aspirations for the future. One leader commented, there are 'no limits' for the pupils at Teignmouth Community School. Consequently, pupils enjoy coming to school, attend regularly and love to learn. Leaders have developed a consistent behaviour policy where pupils model respect, responsibility and honesty. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils move around the school calmly and politely. They aim to 'stay on green'. Pupils say that bullying is very uncommon and adults always deal with issues well. Leaders have developed high-quality outdoor education for all pupils. This strengthens pupils' science knowledge and supports their broader development. Pupils enjoy a range of opportunities, including den building and learning to light fires safely. Leaders consider carefully how to enrich pupils' personal development further. For example, pupils learn about children's rights and responsibilities and put them into action. Therefore, pupils develop strong relationships. They are involved in decisions about their school community. This helps them to feel safe.
What the school should improve
- Beyond English and mathematics, the use of assessment is not developed well enough. Therefore, it is not clear what pupils know and remember in the longer term. It also hampers pupils' ability to make links between different aspects of their learning. Leaders should ensure that there are robust systems for assessment that identify gaps in learning so that pupils are supported to build up their understanding over time.
- The curriculum in the early years foundation stage is not implemented as consistently as it could be. Sometimes, staff do not communicate with children well enough to check their understanding and further their learning. Leaders should ensure that provision in the EYFS is implemented consistently well so all children know and can do more.
