They report directly to Parliament and are independent and impartial. They inspect and regulate services which care for children and young people, and those providing education and skills for learners of all ages. ![](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/images/download_(8).jpeg)Most primary schools are inspected approximately every three years. The team of inspectors spends no longer than two days in the school gathering evidence, including observing lessons and speaking to teachers and pupils, to report on how well the school is performing. A school normally receives half a days notice of its inspection. We are pleased to have been judged to be a "Good School" in our most recent report in February 2022 which can be accessed [here](https://reports.ofsted.gov.uk/provider/21/144665). We were very pleased with our report which highlights all the lovely activities we provide for our children. Our Early Years Team particularly impressed the inspectors and were rewarded with an outstanding judgement. We greatly value the opinions of all parents and carers at the school and ask all that can to contribute to Parent View. Please use the link to access the [Parent View](http://parentview.ofsted.gov.uk/) site. ### School Improvement We have set targets for school improvement. We have a robust system of self-evaluation where we analyse our progress and identify areas for development. We have set targets based on this evaluation. ### Parent Information - [Admissions](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/admissions) - [Safeguarding](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/safeguarding) - [Online Safety](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/online-safety) - [Improvement & Inspection](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/improvement-and-inspection) - [Our Policies](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/our-policies) - [School Performance Data](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/school-performance-data) - [Additional Government Funding](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/additional-government-funding) - [Equal Opportunities](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/equal-opportunities) - [Our Uniform](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/our-uniform) - [School Meals](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/school-meals) ### Tany's Dell Primary School Mowbray Road Harlow Essex CM20 2LS 01279 866230 ### Quick Links - Governors - [Safeguarding](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/safeguarding) - [Policies](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/our-policies) - [Uniform](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/our-uniform) - [School Meals](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/information/school-meals) ### Useful Links - Calendar - [Clubs](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/news-events/clubs) - [Newsletter](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/news-events/newsletters) - [Contact Us](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/contact) ### Translation [![NET Academies](https://files.schudio.com/tany-s-dell-primary-school-2/images/logo/net-logo.png)](https://netacademies.net) © Copyright 2025–2026 Tany's Dell Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://tanysdell.essex.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
