What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

Pupils are happy at Breamore. They value the nurture and care that they receive in this warm and welcoming school. Relationships between adults and pupils are exceptionally strong because adults know pupils as individuals. Pupils feel safe within this gentle culture. They know they can speak to any adult if they have any worries or concerns. The school's 'Roots Curriculum' threads through all aspects of daily school life. Starting in the early years, children develop the important skills of understanding boundaries and self-regulation. They also develop important learning behaviours, such as resilience, focus and independence. Pupils know and understand the school values of justice, compassion and trust. They are able to link them to the school rules through being safe, ready and kind. Pupils are polite and friendly. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well, especially in phonics. They spoke enthusiastically about their learning projects and the trips they go on. For example, pupils in Years 3 and 4 enjoyed their visit to Stonehenge. Pupils relish the opportunities to present their learning to their parents and carers.

What the school should improve

  • In some core subject lessons, checks on pupils' learning, including in the early years, do not identify gaps in pupils' knowledge sufficiently well. As a result, some pupils are not always ready for the next steps in their learning. The school needs to ensure that strategies for checking what pupils know in these subjects are in place so teachers can address any misconceptions or gaps in learning effectively.
  • Across the curriculum, learning is not always adapted effectively enough to ensure that pupils with SEND can succeed. Consequently, they do not learn as well as they could. The school should make sure that teachers know how to identify the building blocks necessary to ensure that pupils with SEND can learn the curriculum and make progress alongside their peers.
