What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 January 2024
Pupils are happy and safe. The school supports them to 'learn, have fun and thrive.' Pupils feel listened to. They are comfortable sharing any worries with adults. Many parents compliment the school on the education and care it provides. The school is ambitious for what pupils should achieve. Pupils rise to meet these expectations. Most pupils behave well and have positive attitudes to learning. They like earning 'marbles' to contribute to their class's shared success. Pupils usually listen politely to each other and follow routines well. Older pupils help at lunchtime and act as 'buddies' for younger children. This develops their sense of responsibility and care. Pupils learn how to make a positive contribution to the wider community. For example, members of the 'eco-club' take part in a village litter-pick. This develops their understanding of civic duty. Pupils raise money for charities and support campaigns, such as anti-bullying. They learn about the importance of being a good citizen. Pupils benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular activities. For example, some pupils write for the 'Bratton Bugle' school newspaper. Others develop their leaderships skills as sports ambassadors or school councillors. There are opportunities for all to sing in the choir, learn how to garden and join the craft club.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is in its infancy. Consequently, pupils do not develop sufficient depth in their knowledge and skills. The school should ensure that new subject curriculums are implemented and assessed effectively so that pupils build knowledge and skills cumulatively in every subject.
