What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 May 2023

Bradfield Dungworth Primary School is a warm and welcoming school. Pupils, parents and staff are proud to be part of the school community. Positive relationships are at the heart of the school's approach to education. Pupils are polite and understand the importance of respect. They feel happy and safe in school. Bullying rarely happens and, if it does, pupils know an adult will sort it out quickly. Pupils' aspirations are fostered well by leaders. Leaders have high expectations for pupils to be successful. Older pupils value the opportunity to contribute to the life of the school through a range of different leadership roles, such as the school council and sports leaders. Pupils' learning does not stop when they are away from the classroom. They enjoy exploring nature by using the 'bug hotel' or learning about key historical figures through the new historical timeline. There is an enthusiasm for learning that permeates throughout the school.

What the school should improve

  • Teaching does not consistently help pupils to make connections between what they are currently learning and what they have learned previously. This means that sometimes, pupils struggle to link their knowledge together and think deeper about key concepts. Leaders should ensure that implementation of the curriculum allows pupils to go beyond recalling facts and develop a deep body of knowledge in all subjects.
  • Some pupils do not have a secure knowledge of fundamental British values or how certain characteristics are protected by law. This means that these pupils are not as well prepared for life in modern Britain as their peers. Leaders need to ensure that the personal development curriculum addresses any gaps in pupils' knowledge, so that pupils are prepared well for life after school.
