What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 September 2023

Tyndale Primary is a school where everyone is welcome as part of the 'Tyndale Family'. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. These are rooted in the school's ethos, based on values that include respect and ambition. Staff have high expectations for all pupils. Pupils understand these and know why it is important to do their best. They enjoy sharing their learning with others and are curious about the world around them. Pupils are proud of the rewards they receive for making good choices about their work or behaviour. Pupils are inquisitive and engaging. They know the school rules and behave well. Beyond the classroom, pupils socialise happily. They feel safe and know that a trusted adult will help them if they have any worries. Pupils are proud of the responsibilities they hold. These include being eco-warriors and sports ambassadors. Pupils develop confidence and independence through such leadership positions. The school supports pupils to become active citizens in their community. For example, pupils participate in local journalism. Pupils take part in a range of enrichment activities. These are carefully planned to support and build on areas of the curriculum. For example, pupils enjoyed their visit to an ancient fortress to further their knowledge in history.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, the school's approach to assessment is not fully developed. This means teachers do not always form an accurate picture of how successfully pupils have learned the curriculum. The school and the trust need to ensure that the use of assessment identifies exactly what pupils know and remember.
  • In some foundation subjects, the way the curriculum is taught is not best suited to what it is that pupils need to learn. As a result, pupils' understanding is not fully developed. The school and the trust need to ensure that teaching supports pupils to learn important knowledge securely.
