What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2023
Inclusion runs through Trevithick like a stick of rock. Leaders are highly ambitious for all pupils whether they are in the mainstream classes or in the additional resource base (ARB). Staff cheerfully greet pupils each morning. This reflects the warm relationships in the school. Pupils feel safe and secure. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They have highly positive attitudes to learning. Pupils display impeccable manners towards visitors. At lunchtimes, they play together harmoniously on a range of equipment such as go-karts and the skateboard ramp. Staff's support for pupils who find it difficult to manage their emotions is highly effective. Bullying is rare. The school provides pupils with a rich range of experiences beyond the academic. From the beach and forest school to the Year 6 bushcraft camp, these experiences are meticulously planned and of the highest quality. Trevithick is a hub of sporting excellence across a range of different disciplines. The school monitors pupils' participation in sports tournaments to ensure a high number have their chance to shine. In addition, the school hosts the 'Trevictus Games'. This gives pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) the experience of competitive sport.
What the school should improve
- On some occasions, teachers give pupils activities that do not build on what they can already do. As a result, on these occasions, pupils do not deepen their knowledge fully. The trust needs to ensure that teachers provide pupils with work that extends their knowledge.
