What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 March 2023

Brampton Village Primary School has grown in size in recent years. Despite this, there remains a close-knit feeling between staff and pupils. Pupils learn and behave well. There are positive relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils appreciate these relationships and are proud of their school. They are happy and safe. One pupil, summing up the views of many, said: 'I feel lucky to be at this school because I learn lots in every lesson and know that I am safe.' Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. Adults support pupils to make the right behaviour choices. Learning is rarely disrupted. Pupils listen attentively and work hard. Bullying is rare. When it does occur, staff deal with it quickly. Pupils know that staff will help them if they have any worries. Pupils have a voice that is listened to. There are many opportunities for pupils to take on responsibilities. School leaders actively promote democratic processes through the school council and this helps pupils understand that they can influence decision-making. Pupils have lots of opportunities to take part in sports clubs and competitions.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, teachers do not check precisely on what pupils have learned. This means that teachers do not always identify where pupils have gaps in their learning and they do not address some misconceptions. This means that pupils do not learn as well as they might. Leaders should ensure that teachers check regularly that pupils are learning what is intended in all subjects.
