What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 May 2025
Timbertree Academy is an impressive school. The school's vision of 'together we learn to succeed' is lived out daily. Positive relationships are at the heart of achieving successful outcomes. Pupils are nurtured with care and, as a result, are happy to come to school. They are inspired to be the very best that they can be. The school provides an excellent standard of education and support to pupils and families. There are high expectations of pupils, regardless of their background. Many pupils achieve highly and make excellent progress, thriving academically and personally. Behaviour is exemplary. Staff have high expectations of how pupils behave and relate to one another. Pupils are taught the importance of positive behaviour and live up to these expectations well. Staff take swift action to restore healthy relationships when rare incidents of inappropriate behaviour occur. The school is an exceptionally calm and purposeful place to learn. Pupils uphold high standards of behaviour. This is fostered by the school's commitment to high-quality character education. Pupils feel safe at school. They say that 'worry monsters' are a powerful way to communicate any worries, should these arise. Pupils are, rightly, extremely proud of their school.
