Tarbiyyah Primary School

Overview

This is a “welcoming, friendly and happy place to be” where pupils behave “maturely and responsibly.” Leaders maintain high expectations for achievement, ensuring pupils build “secure knowledge of subjects” through a “broad and ambitious curriculum.”

Strengths

• Reading is given “high priority,” with daily phonics teaching and effective support for those who struggle, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
• Personal development is a “considerable strength,” featuring age-appropriate PSHE teaching and opportunities for pupils to discuss feelings and show respect for differences.
• Pupils are “motivated and enthusiastic about learning,” remaining attentive and focused while any low-level disruption is dealt with “swiftly and effectively.”
• The curriculum is “sequenced effectively” so pupils build knowledge from the early years, with teaching adapted to enable pupils with SEND to learn alongside peers.
• Leaders and staff value the support they receive, with leaders showing “consideration for their workload and well-being.”

Areas to improve

• In a few subjects, teaching does not ensure pupils remember the “most important vocabulary that they need to know for future learning.”
• The school must ensure teaching “routinely makes important vocabulary explicit in all subjects” and helps pupils recall it long-term.

Safeguarding

The report states that “the arrangements for safeguarding are effective.”
