What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 May 2024

Pupils and staff feel proud to be a part of 'Team TPS'. Pupils achieve very well academically and grow personally. In responding to our survey, parents praised the rounded education the school provides. One parent reflected the views of many by commenting, 'our children come home happy and enthusiastic about their learning. The extra-curricular programme is excellent.' Pupils' behaviour is exemplary, and it is extremely rare for lessons to be disrupted. Pupils enjoy their learning and respect their teachers. They understand that the school has extremely high expectations of what they should achieve, which motivates them to work hard. Pupils treat each other with kindness and respect. They are equally polite and friendly when interacting with adults in school. Individual differences are respected and celebrated, contributing to a welcoming and inclusive environment. Pupils benefit from an exceptionally wide range of extra-curricular opportunities which helps them to develop their character and pursue their interests. This offer is incredibly diverse, including options such as rock climbing, scuba diving and horse riding. Rates of participation are excellent. All pupils benefit in some way from the extra-curricular offer, and many flourish as they discover and develop new skills and talents.
