What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 February 2022

Pupils at Trumpington Park share repeatedly that they enjoy coming to school. They say it is because of caring adults in school that they can be successful in meeting the high standards expected of them. Pupils are confident to share their ideas without fear of being wrong. Pupils are polite and respect their school and the people and resources in it, including their treasured library. Pupils' safety in school has a high priority. Only very few pupils consider bullying to have happened in the school. However, they are clear about the role adults play to support them if they need help. They know about the inclusion team in school and the type of support adults can provide, if needed. They say, 'If you have a problem, you can tell any adult, at any time.' Many pupils benefit from a range of opportunities to take on responsibilities, including as mini-librarians and diversity councillors. Pupils' achievements are celebrated publicly through 'golden trumpet' announcements in assemblies, and this motivates them. Pupils say that 'everyone is welcome'. There is an established culture of acceptance, and this is valued by staff, pupils and the wider parent and carer community.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have ambitious ideas for pupils' wider development. Leaders should build on the established strategy in place to support all pupils to be active citizens who contribute in a highly positive way, and have a tangible impact on the school community and world beyond.
