Bramley CofE Infant School and Nursery

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 June 2025

Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming and inclusive school, where they feel safe, respected and ready to learn. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and supportive, creating a calm and purposeful atmosphere. From the early years onwards, routines are well established, and children learn quickly how to share, take turns and work together. The school sets high expectations for all pupils. These expectations are clearly communicated and consistently reinforced. Pupils respond positively, showing focus and determination in lessons. They take pride in their work and strive to do their best, particularly in reading and mathematics, where most achieve well. These high expectations are reflected in pupils' attitudes, behaviour and learning outcomes. Pupils are taught to be kind, respectful and responsible. They take on leadership roles and contribute to school life and the wider community through events, such as singing at various venues and charity fundraising. Through assemblies and lessons, pupils are developing the values, confidence and personal qualities needed to thrive in modern Britain. The school's motto, 'Seek Within, Wonder Why, Reach Out, Aim High', helps pupils to develop resilience and a love of learning.

What the school should improve

• The targeted approach to support early readers does not help a small number of pupils to successfully keep up. This affects their ability to develop reading fluency. The school should strengthen its targeted work with those pupils who require this additional support.
