What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2023
Pupils are well cared for at Tiverton School. The school welcomes pupils with smiles and warm greetings. Staff work closely with families. They know their pupils very well. Pupils' individual needs are supported effectively, as a result. Pupils are given a wide range of responsibilities, such as being library assistants and school council members. Older pupils read books to younger pupils. They are taught how to create shopping lists before going on trips to the supermarket. The school is ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Most pupils achieve very well. Pupils are given a wide range of experiences beyond the academic. The school prepares pupils to be as independent as possible. This helps pupils to prepare for life beyond school. Pupils and staff demonstrate their school motto of 'Kind, Safe, Happy' to each other. This means relationships across school are positive and respectful. Staff understand that behaviour is a form of communication for pupils. Pupils are taught what good behaviour looks like. Pupils behave very well in classrooms and across school, as a result. Pupils' safety is prioritised. Safeguarding is everyone's responsibility. Pupils are safe and happy. They know that all adults in school will help them. Pupils are taught a wide range of ways to communicate their experiences.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that all staff's subject-specific knowledge is secure across all subjects. As a result, a small number of pupils do not develop a deep enough understanding of these subjects. The school needs to make sure that all staff are given the required support to improve their subject knowledge in some subject areas.
- The school does not have an accurate view of how well all subjects are being implemented. Leaders should support subject leaders to develop their roles and to know how to evaluate the implementation of the curriculum in their subject area.
- The resources in some areas of the early years outdoor environment are not fully developed to effectively deliver the early years curriculum. This slows children's progress. The school should ensure that the outdoor environment is used effectively to support children's learning.
