OFSTED

Latest OFSTED report - January 2024

OFSTED inspect schools to provide information to parents, to promote improvement and to hold schools to account for the public money they receive. School inspections are required by law. They provide an independent assessment of the quality and standards of education in schools, and check whether pupils are achieving as much as they can. 

TFCEPA opened in September 2014 as a brand new academy.  New academies usually are inspected in their third year of opening, and in May 2017 we had our first visit.  In addition, DBAT support our evaluations of the standards and care in our academy with regular visits from our School Improvement Partner and other members of the central team.  The Local Board regularly visit school and are a critical friend to the school leadership, questioning data, finances and quality of education for all children.  

For more information on OFSTED’s role please see their website.

Parent View, can be contributed to at any time, though when an inspection is announced then extra information will be gathered via Parent View.  You can access this here -  Parent View.

SIAMS

Latest SIAMS report - June 2025

The Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) explores how effectively a school’s Christian vision shapes its work and impacts the school community. SIAMS inspections focus on how well our school lives out its Christian vision in all aspects of school life, particularly in relation to pupils' personal development, collective worship and Religious Education (RE).

Key Areas of Focus:

  • The Impact of the Christian Vision:
    How the school’s Christian vision drives its policies, decision-making, and daily practice.

  • The Wellbeing and Flourishing of All:
    How the school supports the development, wellbeing, and success of every member of the school community.

  • The Quality of Collective Worship:
    How worship contributes to the spiritual development of pupils and reflects the school’s Christian distinctiveness.

  • The Effectiveness of Religious Education (RE):
    How RE supports pupils in developing religious literacy and deepens their understanding of Christianity and other world faiths.

  • The School’s Contribution to the Wider Community:
    How the school works to make a difference locally, nationally and globally through its values and actions.

What This Means for Our School:

At Tadpole Farm, our Christian vision underpins everything we do. We strive to create a caring, inclusive environment where every child is valued, supported and encouraged to flourish. Our collective worship, curriculum and wider school life are thoughtfully planned to reflect our values and help every member of our community grow both academically and spiritually.
