Pupils at Tarvin enjoy attending school and they achieve well. They find lessons interesting and they appreciate the many visits on offer, such as to the zoo. Pupils take part in a wide range of extra-curricular activities. These include music, sports and nature clubs. Pupils were pleased with their recent community exhibition: Our Planet. Parents and carers spoken to at the start of the inspection were unanimously happy with the school. This includes some of those who have children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Typically, parents said that staff go out of their way to help pupils. Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils’ work and their behaviour. Pupils are attentive in lessons and they contribute confidently to discussions. They listen carefully to each other, are well mannered and kind. For example, in assemblies, pupils encourage those pupils who gain awards for their effort and for their work. Children in the Reception Year enjoy learning. They are confident, friendly and articulate, despite missing out on some aspects of their social development due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. They get off to a great start in learning to read and write. Pupils know what it means to be tolerant and a good friend. Pupils respect the way that staff deal with any incidents of bullying or unkind behaviour. Pupils are very proud of their school.
