What This School Does Well
Tetherdown Primary School excels at creating a nurturing environment where children thrive academically and personally. Teachers deliver engaging lessons that help all pupils make good progress, from those learning English as an additional language to those with special educational needs. The school's greatest strength is its pupils' exceptional behaviour and attitudes - they are confident, respectful and genuinely enjoy coming to school.
Key Strengths
- Pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are excellent - they are confident, kind and take great responsibility for their learning
- Teaching is consistently good with some outstanding lessons, and teachers use strong verbal feedback to guide pupils
- All groups of pupils make good progress, including those with special needs, English as an additional language, and those eligible for pupil premium support
- Leaders have high expectations and monitor teaching effectively to support improvement
- Positive relationships and a vibrant learning environment create a stimulating atmosphere where pupils feel safe and happy
Areas for Improvement
- Some higher-attaining pupils are not always given sufficiently challenging work in lessons
- Marking of pupils' work does not always clearly explain what they need to do to improve
- Leadership monitoring activities are not always documented routinely to demonstrate their full impact
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective - pupils feel safe and happy in school, understand how to keep safe from bullying and e-safety risks, and know there is always an adult to turn to with concerns.
Extracurricular Activities
Music lessons and choirs, after-school clubs, writing to pupils in Uganda, fund-raising for charities, Year 6 production
Tetherdown Primary School is a good school where children make solid progress in their learning and display exemplary behaviour. The school has strong leadership with high expectations for all pupils, though it is not yet outstanding because some higher-attaining pupils need greater challenge and marking could be more consistent.
