What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 June 2023
Pupils enjoy being at Trumpington Meadows. Younger pupils have lots of interesting activities to explore. Older pupils find lessons engaging and informative. Pupils feel safe as they are comfortable talking to staff about any worries. Pupils rise to leaders' high expectations. Pupils learn a rich and broad curriculum. They enjoy reading regularly. They get to take risks safely and explore nature in the forest school. Pupils get extra help with their learning when they need it. A small number of pupils miss out on important learning because they are absent frequently. Overall, however, pupils achieve well. Pupils are accepting of difference. They see themselves as part of one school community. Pupils behave well in lessons. They learn about how to share and take turns, right from early years. Many pupils enjoy playing competitive games at lunchtime and breaktime. Staff are on hand to help resolve any friendship issues or disagreements that occur. Pupils are proud of their meaningful leadership roles. They have recently raised over £500 for charity. Pupils also enjoy an extensive range of trips and wider experiences that broaden and enrich what they learn in school. Pupils were recently visited by a Team GB athlete and attended a poetry event.
What the school should improve
- A minority of pupils are persistently absent. This means that these pupils miss out on important learning and do not achieve as well as they should. Leaders need to ensure that all barriers to persistent non-attendance are identified and that their systems for supporting attendance enable all pupils to attend regularly.
