Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Tregadillett Primary School is at the heart of its community. This is reflected in the school's motto of wanting 'to build powerful learners together'. The school is committed to providing pupils with a high-quality education. However, as one pupil said, 'We still have lots of fun and make great friends along the way.'
Staff model the school's values to pupils. These include showing compassion and creativity. Children right from Reception Year are encouraged to demonstrate these attributes and are rewarded when they do. Many parents say their child is flourishing here. They comment positively on the school's child-centred and inclusive approach.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Leaders, including governors, are highly ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Since the previous inspection, the curriculum has undergone significant review. Leaders have worked collaboratively with teachers to plan this. Pupils learn a knowledge-rich and well-sequenced curriculum. The school also supports an increased number of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) well. Staff use their learning from training to make any necessary adjustments to the way they teach the curriculum. Most importantly, they get to know pupils well. This ensures pupils with SEND are well supported.
Subject leaders have carefully planned what pupils will learn over time. The school has introduced 'forever facts'. This is the key information they want pupils to remember. Where assessment is strongest, such as in mathematics, staff carefully check what pupils know. They use this to inform pupils' next steps. However, in some subjects, the assessment of what pupils know is not yet as well developed.
