What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 May 2023

Pupils are polite, respectful and courteous. They take pride in their learning and they want to do well. One pupil shared, 'Treverbyn Academy is a place where teachers help us to unfold our dreams.' Leaders are ambitious and have high expectations for what they want pupils to learn. Leaders are determined for pupils to be successful. All pupils are included in all aspects of school life, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This is a strength of the school. Leaders have guided the school well through a period of staffing changes. They have made improvements to the curriculum that mean pupils learn with success. Leaders' actions are making a difference to the quality of education that pupils receive. As a result, pupils know more and remember more over time. Pupils show positive attitudes to their learning. They know what is expected of them, including the school routines. This starts in the early years, where children are eager to learn and follow instructions. Staff build positive relationships with pupils and know them well. This creates a nurturing environment where pupils grow in confidence. Leaders' focus on well-being supports all pupils to begin their school day successfully.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have prioritised the development of the curriculum. Some changes to the curriculum are in the early stages. As a result, pupils do not yet build their knowledge as well as in the more established subjects. Leaders need to further embed the curriculum for all subjects so that pupils build their knowledge well in all subjects.
  • Leaders, including those responsible for governance, do not monitor behaviour with enough precision. As a result, patterns of behaviour are not always known well enough for leaders to decide on any adaptations needed to the curriculum to support some pupils' behaviour. Leaders and governors need to ensure that monitoring and evaluation is effective and strengthen communication with parents so that they are clear on the school's actions.
