School remains Good Inspected 11 July 2024
Strengths
- “Timbercroft is a happy and friendly school where everyone is important.”
- “Pupils are polite and strong systems help them behave well both in the classroom and around the school.”
- “The golden rules, which pupils know and use, inspire them to help others through roles such as play leaders and anti-bullying ambassadors.”
To improve
- “However, in some subjects, the school has not defined the knowledge that pupils need to know and remember in as much detail as others.”
- “As a result, some gaps in knowledge are not identified and this makes it harder for pupils to build new learning.”
- “In these subjects, pupils do not learn as well as they could.”
