What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
Trenance Learning Academy is a caring and welcoming place, where pupils are 'in school, on time, every day, learning ready.' This is because they love to learn, which they do through an exceptionally high-quality curriculum. Staff have very high expectations for all pupils, which they meet with a thirst to know more. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Pupils are 'change makers'. Many take on school responsibilities, such as well-being champions, fab friends, safety ambassadors and school councillors. At the heart of the school's work is the community. Pupils relish the many chances they have to improve their school and local area. For example, pupils worked with local councillors to build flower beds to improve nearby parks. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They show high levels of self-control and respect, which they learn as soon as they start school in the Reception Year. Good manners are routinely on display. Pupils enjoy receiving 'TLA tokens' as a reward for following the six golden rules. Pupils participate in a rich range of experiences throughout their three years at the school. They visit and learn about local landmarks, which helps them to understand the history of their seaside town. By the time pupils leave the school, they are independent, resilient and extremely well prepared for their next steps.
