William Tyndale Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 November 2024

This is a happy and nurturing school where pupils thrive. Pupils love coming to school every day. Their behaviour in class and as they move around the school is exemplary. Pupils are articulate and polite. They are confident, feel safe and well cared for by all staff. Leaders have the highest expectations for what pupils can achieve. All pupils rise to these expectations. Pupils make strong progress from their starting points in the early years to the end of Year 6. The school's published outcomes show pupils achieve well. Pupils are taught about the wider world and to be responsible and caring citizens. They represent the school's values including 'respect' and 'enterprise', at every opportunity. For example, by taking on positions of responsibility in school, such as skills builders, dyslexia ambassadors or playground leaders. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are well supported to access the same ambitious curriculum as their peers. Pupils visit a wide range of interesting places such as museums, local places of worship and art galleries. They talk with enthusiasm about how such visits help them in their learning. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education.

What the school should improve

• The school's work to improve pupils' writing is still being embedded. Some pupils do not have secure writing skills, which hampers their ability to write fluently because they cannot form their letters correctly. The school must support pupils to develop secure writing skills effectively.
