What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Pupils at Trinity Academy Richmond are happy and safe. The school provides a calm and nurturing environment, where pupils thrive. Pupils are proud of their school and know that they belong. This is reflected in the school song, written by pupils, in which they sing 'I can be me!' The school's ethos helps pupils to achieve their best. The school has high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Children benefit from a strong foundation to their education in the early years. Throughout the school, the well- developed and broad curriculum sparks pupils' curiosity. Pupils are keen to contribute to lessons. They are proud of the work they produce. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported. They achieve well. Staff prioritise pupils' well-being. The school provides additional calm spaces during playtimes for pupils who prefer this. Pupils know that they can discuss any worries with staff. Pupils are polite and respectful towards adults. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe online and recognise risks in the local area. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly happy with the education and care that their children receive.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, the important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember is not made clear. Pupils do not remember sufficient curriculum content in these subjects. The school should refine the curriculum delivery in these subjects so that there is a greater focus on foregrounding the important knowledge and vocabulary pupils need for future learning.
  • In some subjects, the school is still developing its understanding of the impact of the curriculum. As a result, in these subjects, the school does not know what pupils know and can do and where improvements need to be made. The school should strengthen its oversight of the curriculum so that it can make rigorous and secure improvements, where needed.
