What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 April 2024
Pupils thrive at Twyning School. Children get off to a strong start in the early years and the school takes great care to ensure that pupils are nurtured and academically challenged as they move through the key stages. Pupils achieve very well in most areas and they are prepared well for secondary school. The curriculum in the core subjects is ambitious and carefully sequenced. Pupils enjoy their lessons and take great pride in their work. Pupils' attitudes towards their learning are exceptionally positive. The school's expectations of pupils are high, and strong routines support exemplary behaviour. Pupils, including the youngest children in Reception, are polite and welcoming. The school's 'golden threads' are understood by both staff and pupils. These underpin the curriculum and the school's wider offer, so all children can 'achieve, create and enjoy'. Pupils' character development is central to the school's ethos. There is a vast range of extra-curricular activities available. Nearly all pupils take part in these. Pupils take a lead role in creating a highly inclusive school community in which kindness and respect are part of daily life.
What the school should improve
- The implementation of some areas of the wider curriculum is not consistently effective. Some activities do not align with the intended learning. The expectations and quality of pupils' writing in these subjects are variable. As a result, pupils learn less effectively in these areas. The school must ensure that learning activities, including writing opportunities, enable all pupils to learn what is intended and to write well in all subjects.
