Ofsted Insights

What This School Does Well

Todwick Primary School creates an exciting, welcoming learning environment where children actively enjoy coming to school. The school excels at active, stimulating teaching with a strong emphasis on outdoor learning and creative subjects like art. With excellent behaviour and a supportive community, your child will develop strong learning skills alongside important life skills and values like kindness and respect.

Key Strengths

  • Exciting, active learning with strong emphasis on outdoor learning and forest school
  • Excellent behaviour and positive school culture where pupils feel safe and welcome
  • High-quality art and creative work that enhances learning across subjects
  • Strong leadership at all levels with effective staff collaboration and professional development
  • Good pupil progress in phonics and improving outcomes in Key Stage 1

Areas for Improvement

  • Reading materials are outdated, too gender-specific and not age-appropriate for all pupils
  • Recording of minor behavioural incidents lacks rigour in documenting details like dates, times and locations
  • Early years attainment in reading and mathematics needs to be sustained

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is effective, with pupils feeling safe and staff receiving regular training, though records of minor incidents are not documented with sufficient rigour.

Extracurricular Activities

Forest school, Project Ability (mile a day, girl power day, Kielder Challenge), pupil cadets (road safety and e-safety training), chicken care and incubation project

Todwick Primary School continues to be good, with strong leadership that has maintained and improved the quality of education since the last inspection in 2012. The school has successfully tackled previous areas for development including phonics learning and meeting the needs of the most able pupils.
