What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 April 2024
Brandesburton is a welcoming and caring school. Pupils feel safe and get along well with staff and each other. Relationships are warm and built on mutual respect. Pupils know that staff care for them and 'champion' their success. As a result, they are happy and enjoy coming to school. The expectations of what pupils will achieve at Brandesburton are high. The outcomes from national assessments in reading, writing and mathematics reflect these expectations. Pupils benefit from a wider curriculum that is also well planned and considered. Pupils enjoy the additional opportunities the school provides to enhance this curriculum, such as extra-curricular clubs and visits. These include a rollerblading club and visits to art galleries. Some pupils feel that behaviour on the playground is not as good as the behaviour in the classrooms. However, inspectors noted that behaviour both in the classrooms and around the school is calm and respectful. At playtime, pupils play well together. There are very few instances of low-level disruption or pupils off-task in lessons.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum does not provide sufficient opportunity for pupils to learn about different faiths. Pupils have a limited understanding in this area of the curriculum. The school should widen the curriculum to enable pupils to acquire the knowledge that they need about different world faiths.
- The school does not identify the barriers to learning for some pupils with SEND precisely enough. This means that these pupils do not get the support that they need in the classroom. The school should take further action to better identify pupils' needs and put the correct support in place.
