What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
Tiverton Academy welcomes pupils from all backgrounds and ethnicities. Pupils appreciate being considered as an individual and know that their well-being is prioritised. The school's values, known as the '6 Cs', underpin the school's ethos. These focus on the skills pupils need in school and daily life. They include cooperation, communication, community, citizenship, creativity and challenge. The school has high expectations of all pupils. This includes children in the early years and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The new leadership team has made rapid changes to improve the curriculum in all subjects, including English and mathematics. This has been successful and has had a positive impact on outcomes, especially in early reading. Most pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They treat others with respect and kindness. They know that discrimination of any kind is wrong. Where unkind or unacceptable behaviour occurs, staff deal with incidents appropriately. Pupils enjoy the additional activities which support and enrich the curriculum. This includes clubs such as sewing, Lego and racquet club and interesting educational visits. Pupils develop a good understanding of how to keep themselves safe as this is threaded across the whole curriculum.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects in the wider curriculum, teachers do not always make the learning clear or set tasks that help pupils gain the skills and knowledge needed for future learning. Sometimes, pupils engage in low-level activities and do not extend their learning. The school should continue to review and develop the identified subject areas and monitor the intended curriculum's implementation and impact.
- The school's approach to checking how well pupils recall and use prior knowledge in the wider curriculum is not sufficiently established. As a result, pupils have gaps and misconceptions in their learning which are not picked up and addressed. The school should ensure that its assessment methods enable teachers to check how well pupils know and remember what they learn.
