Trannack Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 June 2023

This is a welcoming and inclusive school, where all pupils are valued. Pupils enjoy coming to school. Staff form positive, nurturing relationships with pupils, which enables them to be successful. The vast majority of parents and carers appreciate this. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils live up to these expectations well. They get on well with their teachers and enjoy spending time with their friends. Pupils behave very well, including in the early years. Any occasional falling out between pupils is quickly sorted out by adults. Leaders help pupils to develop a sense of responsibility. For example, pupils can become a school councillor. They raise awareness of environmental issues. They run campaigns, such as on the recycling of batteries, and have introduced classroom recycling bins. Through the personal, social and health education curriculum, in lessons and through other activities, pupils develop their awareness of other cultures and diversity. For example, pupils enjoy 'Sikhism day', where they learn about the religion, wear traditional Indian clothes and cook Indian food.

What the school should improve

• While systems are in place to support pupils with SEND, they do not consistently provide leaders with a clear and precise picture of the effectiveness of the provision for pupils with SEND. Leaders should ensure that their processes provide accurate information as to how pupils with SEND achieve so they can evaluate how well pupils with SEND learn over time.
• Some subjects in the wider curriculum are not developed as well as others. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders need to ensure that weaker areas of the curriculum are developed and implemented to the same quality as more successful areas so that pupils know more and remember more.
