What Ofsted said about Tickenham Church of England Primary School

Inspection report dated 22 November 2023

Overview

Tickenham Church of England Primary School continues to be a good school, offering a welcoming environment where pupils are proud to attend. The report highlights a strong sense of community, with parents praising the school’s ‘family feel’ and pupils demonstrating high levels of respect and focus through the ‘Tickenham way’.

Strengths

  • Pupils display positive attitudes, with behaviour described as polite and courteous, underpinned by the school’s ‘gem powers’.
  • Reading is a clear priority; children learn phonics effectively from the start, with books matching sounds to build confidence and quick catch-up support for those falling behind.
  • The mathematics curriculum is well-designed, enabling pupils to confidently describe number patterns and solve complex problems using multiplication.
  • Attendance is managed effectively, with leaders tracking closely and intervening early to ensure pupils attend school regularly.
  • Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) learn the same curriculum as their peers through precise individual pupil plans.

Areas to improve

  • The school lacks an accurate understanding of how well pupils build knowledge in some wider curriculum subjects, as implementation systems are new.
  • Some parents of pupils with SEND have raised concerns about communication, which the school plans to improve to ensure these parents are better informed.

Safeguarding

The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
