Tranmoor Primary

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 January 2024

Pupils enjoy learning at Tranmoor Primary. Pupils arrive at school with a smile on their face. They are welcomed into school ready for a day of learning by adults who care for them well. Pupils are proud of their school and are kind and caring towards each other. They have secure relationships with their teachers and school staff. Leaders ensure pupils study a broad and ambitious curriculum. Children learn with enthusiasm. In the early years, children experience an exciting day of learning and discovery. Parents and carers appreciate the care and support given to pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, sometimes some pupils with SEND do not get the precise support they need to learn as well as they could. Pupils behave well. Their behaviour in lessons, around school and at social times demonstrates the values of the school. This includes cooperation, friendship, tolerance and respect. Pupils follow school routines well. They try hard in lessons. They understand how to stay safe online and how to keep themselves healthy. Bullying is very rare. Pupils who spoke with inspectors say adults would deal with bullying effectively if it happened. Pupils have important roles in school. School council members talk with pride about their achievements and the improvements they have made to the school environment. Pupils learn about ideas such as democracy through the `Parliament Week' and enjoy access to after-school activities. These include sporting clubs and a well-being club.

What the school should improve

• In a few subjects, the curriculum does not enable pupils to recall prior learning effectively and, for some pupils, activities are too ambitious. Pupils are, on occasions, overloaded with information. This means that pupils cannot consistently recall the most important knowledge and apply it to new learning. The school should ensure that the curriculum and individual pupils' support plans are consistently well adapted to meet pupils' varying learning needs, including pupils with SEND.
• Some pupils are unable to talk with confidence about their understanding of other faiths and cultures. Their knowledge and understanding of this is insecure. The school must ensure that the curriculum helps pupils develop a good understanding of other faiths and cultures to help prepare them more fully for their future and the wider world.
