What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils feel happy and safe in this vibrant, diverse community. There is a positive, respectful culture. Pupils describe their school as an inclusive place. They learn the importance of consent and equality. Pupils say, 'Everyone is welcome here.' There are high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils listen and concentrate well most of the time. The classes at Braunstone Frith are known as 'crews'. Staff teach pupils how to be active, responsible crew members. Pupils are not allowed to be 'passengers'. The school's 'REACH IT' values set out what it means to be a successful learner. Pupils like earning points for demonstrating one of the 'REACH IT' attitudes. The school's curriculum is ambitious and relevant. It takes account of pupils' backgrounds and their needs. The development of pupils' spoken language is a key feature of its design. There is a focus on oracy and developing pupils' vocabulary in all lessons. Pupils learn to talk, and they learn through talk. This approach is serving all pupils well, but it is particularly effective for the high proportion of disadvantaged pupils, pupils with special education needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and pupils who speak English as an additional language (EAL) at the school.
What the school should improve
- Staff do not always check closely enough on pupils' learning in lessons. This means that misconceptions can go unnoticed. Sometimes, new content is introduced before pupils are ready. The school must ensure that all staff use formative assessment well, so that pupils have a secure grasp of the knowledge they need for the next stage of their learning.
- The school sometimes waits too long to find out why some pupils do not come to school as often as they should. This means that improvements do not occur as rapidly as they might. The school must review its systems for securing high attendance so that the root cause of some pupils' low attendance is identified and addressed swiftly.
