What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
Tenbury CofE Primary is a warm and welcoming school which fully lives out its mission statement: 'encourage one another and build each other up'. This means pupils are very well supported and they are very happy at the school. One pupil, typical of many, stated to an inspector, 'Tenbury Primary is a great place filled with happiness and learning.' Pupils achieve well at the school as every child is known by the staff, and they are supported as individuals. Pupils invariably behave very well at the school as leaders have fully embedded their expectations. In addition, older pupils willingly take on roles to support younger pupils. In this, they model the school's ethos fully. Pupils know that if they have a concern, they can speak to an adult who will help them to resolve things. Pupils speak very highly of the outstanding range of trips, visits and clubs that the school offers. They are very proud of their large choir which has recently performed at regional shows. They also enjoy sports such as ultimate frisbee and the girls' and boys' football clubs. Recent trips have included residentials and visits to local historical sites. These visits help bring the pupils' learning to life, and they speak warmly about them.
What the school should improve
- There remain too many disadvantaged pupils who are absent from school too often. This means these pupils miss too much school and learning. The school should continue to work closely with parents and external agencies to instil the importance of regular attendance for these pupils.
