What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 May 2024

Pupils who attend Tutshill Primary are proud to belong to the community of the school, the local area and the wider world. The school bases its curriculum on developing pupils' understanding of where they live. Pupils become well-rounded young people, fully aware of the possibilities of the world beyond school. A strong sense of belonging permeates the school. Pupils place a pebble in the bowl as they join the school to represent becoming part of the school community. They take a pebble out as they leave. Pupils explain that this is so that every pupil, and staff member, leave with a little piece of Tutshill. Expectations are clear and consistent. As a result, pupils achieve well and are ready for their next steps in education. Most pupils behave well. The school works with integrity to ensure that all pupils have the support they need to be successful young learners. Supporting pupils to learn how to learn is a strength here. Pupils develop a clear sense of what it takes to be a confident young learner, able to cope with setbacks.

What the school should improve

  • At times, the teaching and learning systems and strategies in place to secure strong outcomes for pupils are not monitored closely enough. When this happens, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that teaching and learning systems and strategies are rigorously monitored so that they support all pupils to achieve well.
