What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
Twyford is a thriving and caring school at the heart of the village community. A highly positive and supportive ethos permeates the school. Leaders have very high expectations for pupils' conduct and behaviour. Consequently, pupils' behaviour is excellent. There are strong and respectful relationships between the pupils and staff. Pupils are incredibly polite and well mannered. They say that bullying is not an issue. If it did happen, pupils know adults would immediately deal with it. They feel safe in school. Pupils are immensely happy to attend the school. One pupil told an inspector that he is so proud to attend the school that he always wears his school jumper when he visits a nearby supermarket. Leaders set high expectations for the pupils. Pupils achieve well because they are given the correct support and guidance. They are thoroughly engaged in their learning. The learning environment celebrates pupils' achievements. At breaktimes, pupils play exceptionally well together. They appreciate their newly installed sensory garden. It provides a large, calm space alongside the playground. Pupils have great opportunities to take part in many events to enrich their life experiences. Some pupils have extra responsibilities, for example as librarians and eco-warriors. They undertake these roles with great pride.
What the school should improve
- Leaders' use of assessment in the foundation subjects lacks precision. As a result, teachers do not have a secure understanding of how well pupils are learning the curriculum in these subjects. Leaders should refine their use of assessment in the foundation subjects so that staff can accurately identify gaps in knowledge to help them plan subsequent learning.
