Tonge Moor Primary Academy has demonstrated a good overall performance during its first inspection since converting to an academy. The school fosters a positive learning environment where pupils express pride and happiness in attending. Strong leadership has established high expectations for behaviour and learning, resulting in improved academic outcomes across various subjects, including for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). However, there are areas that require attention, particularly in ensuring consistent curriculum delivery and aligning reading materials with pupils' phonetic knowledge.
