Achievement and Attainment
How we perform as a schoolHow we are judged by Ofsted
Prior to becoming Tinsley Meadows Primary School (and then Tinsley Meadows Primary Academy), we existed as two separate schools: Tinsley Junior School and Tinsley Nursery Infant School.
In March 2013, Tinsley Junior School was judged as ‘Good’ by Ofsted.
In March 2014, Tinsley Nursery Infant School was judged as ‘Good’ by Ofsted.
Tinsley Meadows Primary Academy was inspected on 9 April 2019 and judged as ‘Good’ by Ofsted.
We are incredibly proud of this result and we are now striving to become an ‘Outstanding’ School.

We go over and above to ensure that we not only meet performance standards but exceed them, giving our children the best possible foundation for their secondary education.
If you compare our performance against National and Local Authority results it is evident that the school is performing above, and in some instances significantly above, the expected levels for achievement.

Pupil Premium Awards
In December 2015 Tinsley Meadows received a letter from MP David Laws notifying us that we had won £1,000 for our efforts in closing the gap between premium and non premium children. Please see attachment below
More recently, we also received notification that we had won a place in the finals for the National Pupil Premium Awards 2015! We are delighted to confirm that following our attendance at a ceremony in London on 25th March 2015, we are the proud winners of a further £5,000 as ‘Regional Runner Up’.
This money has gone a long way to helping us to close the gap even further and ensure high outcomes for our disadvantaged pupils.
Regional Winner – National Pupil Premium Awards 2016
We were incredibly proud to be recognised nationally in the 2016 National Pupil Premium Awards.
This award recognises the school’s efforts in improving the outcomes for disadvantaged pupils and closing the gap between premium children and non premium children.
We are passionate about improving outcomes for all our pupils and we strive to continuously raise attainment to ensure every child has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
