About TBHA

Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. They are proud of their school and speak confidently to their teachers and each other. Pupils enjoy coming to school. 

Staff at the school feel valued. Almost all of those who responded to Ofsted’s survey indicated that they are proud to work at the school. Many expressed their appreciation of what the school does to reduce their workload. One member of staff wrote, ‘It’s been a breath of fresh air to be encouraged to do what we do best.’ 

Pupils in all year groups display very positive attitudes to their school and their learning. They are confident and articulate, and they take great delight in explaining the work they have been doing. They are proud of their school and play their part in keeping the site tidy and litter-free. 

Diversity is celebrated at this school. Pupils are kind to each other and respectful of people and groups, regardless of their particular characteristics, for example their gender, race or sexual orientation. 

Pupils benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum, as well as a wide range of extracurricular activities. 

Relationships between staff and pupils are cordial and warm. Pupils are punctual to lessons, and well-established routines mean that very little time is lost as pupils move between activities in class. 

Pupils enjoy coming to school, as shown by their good attendance overall. Rates of attendance for disadvantaged pupils are improving. Leaders work closely with those families whose children do not come to school regularly enough. Leaders build relationships with families and go ‘the extra mile’ to remove barriers to attendance, using pupil premium funding to good effect where appropriate. 

The school provides a caring and nurturing environment in which pupils can thrive.
