What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Branton St Wilfrid's is a happy, welcoming school where pupils thrive. The school has high aspirations for its pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to these aspirations and achieve well. The school is inclusive and celebrates the differences between people. Pupils enjoy strong, nurturing relationships with caring staff. Pupils know that the adults in the school will help them if they have any worries. This fosters a deep sense of safety and belonging. Pupils' behaviour throughout the school is positive. Staff maintain a well-mannered and respectful environment using positive behaviour strategies. Adults encourage pupils to reflect on their actions. This approach helps pupils to manage their emotions and to make improved choices in how they behave. Pupils enjoy opportunities to attend an interesting range of extra-curricular activities. These include football, choir and cooking clubs. Pupils value these opportunities as they allow them to develop their talents and interests. Pupils take part in sports competitions and musical concerts. These showcase pupils' development and increase their confidence to perform in front of an audience. Pupils also learn important online safety skills. Pupils understand how to protect themselves from harm and what to do if they have concerns.
What the school should improve
- In the early years, learning opportunities in the outdoor learning environment are not used as effectively as they could be. This means that children do not learn as well as they should. The school should take further action to improve how the curriculum is implemented when pupils are learning outdoors.
