What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 March 2023

Tidbury Green is a school where pupils work hard and are taught not to give up. The school's values promote independence and honesty. Pupils are courteous and kind to others. They behave well. If there are any incidents of off-task behaviour or bullying, then staff notice and help pupils sort it out. The school's rules are fair, and pupils feel safe in school. Their achievements are celebrated at 'hot chocolate Fridays' and weekly 'tea parties' with the headteacher. Pupils care for one another. They also look after Pancake and Waffle, the school guinea pigs. Prefects help younger pupils, for example by organising play activities on the playground. School councillors enjoy debating school matters. Team captains help organise sports events. All pupils learn the importance of taking care of others and their school environment. Reading is at the heart of the school's work. Pupils read every day and enjoy listening to adults reading to them. This is an inclusive school where pupils flourish. All pupils have access to a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and events, including singing to a vast audience at Young Voices concerts. Pupils achieve well and are well prepared for the next stage in their education.

What the school should improve

  • Some teachers do not use assessment information well enough to plan future learning for pupils with SEND. Leaders should ensure that staff make better use of assessment information to plan next steps of learning for pupils with SEND. They should do this so that these pupils learn and achieve as well as possible.
  • In a few foundation subjects, the implementation of the curriculum is not as effective as it could be. Some teachers do not have enough subject knowledge or understanding of how to best teach some content. As a result, some pupils are not learning as well as they could. Leaders should make sure that staff have sufficient subject knowledge to teach these subjects well in order to maximise pupils' progress across the curriculum.
