Pupils are happy and safe at Telscombe Cliffs Primary School and Nursery. They say that they are ‘all friends who look after each other’. Leaders’ focus on pupils’ wellbeing has helped them to settle back into school after the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic. Pupils enjoy coming into school. Teachers have high expectations for pupils’ behaviour. Pupils say that behaviour is better now than it used to be. If any silly behaviour happens, teachers will deal with it. When talking to inspectors, pupils could not remember any bullying that had happened recently at their school but could recall when it had happened in the past. They feel that if bullying happened now, staff would listen and act quickly to stop it. Children in the early years get off to a good start because learning is well planned. Older pupils work hard and concentrate in lessons, but teachers are not ambitious enough for their learning. Pupils do not learn and remember the essential knowledge they need in all subjects because the curriculum is not yet fully formed. In particular, the lower-ability pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are not supported well enough with their learning.
