converted into a school. The school opened with just two classes in Reception . Today the
school has grown to fill every year group to year six and has been oversubscribed for a number
of years.
The school has grown into a wonderfully diverse community and gone from strength to
strength since it opened. Founding teacher and interim Principal Petra Gollob now carries the
flag. Our first Outstanding Ofsted report was a true testament to what it is really like to be a
pupil at TPA and our staff are just as proud as the children and parents. “Parents, carers, staff
and pupils are overwhelmingly positive about the school’s work(Ofsted 2018)
Our children are flourishing; we aim for all our children to exceed local and national averages
and to make exceptional progress from their starting points. We enrich the curriculum
enormously with trips, visits, speakers, artists, singing, music and so much more. “Teachers use secure subject knowledge to help pupils deepen their understanding of ideas and themes
across a wide range of subjects. They inspire pupils to pursue their own interests. .” (Ofsted
2018)
Our 36 members of staff are committed and we have low staff turnover. We find opportunities
for those who want to develop themselves professionally. “ Leaders have established
consistently high quality teaching and
