Trevisker Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 January 2025

Pupils benefit from a warm and caring environment. Staff have high expectations of pupils' achievement, which pupils respond to well, thrive and are happy at school. Pupils are confident, polite and caring. They get on well together, behave well and work hard. When pupils occasionally fall out with each other, they quickly make up. This can be with the help of adults but often pupils work it out between themselves. Pupils experience an increasing number of opportunities to engage in activities in the local community, such as helping maintain the local wildflower meadow. They visit other local landmarks, including tin mines, aquaria and also travel further afield. The school welcomes many visitors. This is part of the school's desire to broaden pupils' horizons and improve their understanding of diverse cultures. The school's curriculum has been revamped to include rich experiences and content. These changes develop pupils' knowledge across the curriculum and in the quality of their reading, particularly for those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, there is still more work to do to improve outcomes in some subjects. The school uses its local knowledge and connections to make sure it prepares pupils to be safe and well prepared for their next steps.

What the school should improve

• In a few subjects, teachers do not have the level of understanding they need to ensure that the school's curriculum is taught effectively. This leads to pupils not knowing and remembering the most significant content. The trust should ensure that subject leaders and teaching staff have the knowledge they need to develop the curriculum further, implement it effectively and, as a result, improve pupil outcomes.
