Brady Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 April 2022

This is a happy and caring school community. Pupils, staff and parents and carers typically described being part of this school as like 'being in one big family'. Leaders and governors have clear aims. They want to support all pupils to become respectful and caring young citizens. The school's values of dedication, inspiration, respect and achievement are referenced by leaders daily. Pupils said that they like coming to school. Leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils know that their teachers expect them to behave well and work hard. They are enthusiastic about their learning. Pupils enjoy the demanding work that teachers set for them. They work well in lessons, and learning is not disturbed by poor behaviour. Pupils are kept safe at school. Bullying is rare. If it does happen, then adults at the school deal with it quickly and effectively. Leaders provide pupils with a range of clubs, activities and visiting speakers. These aim to help pupils to follow their interests and experience new things. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities to contribute to the wider life of the school, for example through the pupil parliament.

What the school should improve

• In a small number of subjects, teachers are less confident in delivering the curriculum. This includes sequencing lessons in a way that helps pupils build up a detailed knowledge of subject content. Leaders should ensure that teachers' subject knowledge is consistently strong across all subjects, and deepen teachers' expertise in teaching the planned curriculum.
