What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
This is a school where pupils can be themselves and let their character shine through. Pupils here embody the 'Our Thelwall' key responsibilities. For example, they are honest and respectful towards each other and they are proud of their work and their school. Pupils are warmly greeted by staff at the school gates every morning. They are happy. The school sets high aspirations for pupils' achievement. Most pupils meet these expectations well. The high-quality support that pupils receive, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), gives them the very best chance to succeed. From Year 3 to Year 6, pupils engage fully in their lessons. Their positive attitudes mean that there is rarely any disruption to their learning. Pupils rightly trust adults to deal quickly with any concerns that arise. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities to access a variety of clubs and other activities that further extend their talents and interests. They talked enthusiastically about attending hockey, coding and choir clubs. Pupils in every year proudly perform in their much-coveted end of year show at a local concert hall. Visitors to school and carefully planned trips bring learning to life and broaden pupils' horizons.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, teachers do not support pupils to recall and build on their prior learning sufficiently well. On occasion, this prevents some pupils from having sufficiently secure foundations on which to build new learning. In these remaining curriculum areas, the school should develop strategies to ensure that pupils embed knowledge successfully into their long-term memory.
- In some foundation subjects, the school's systems for checking how well the curriculum is being implemented are underdeveloped. As a result, staff do not have a sufficiently secure understanding of how well pupils are learning new knowledge and information. The school should ensure that it establishes systems that show the impact of the curriculum on pupils' learning in these subjects.
