What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 January 2023
Pupils, parents and staff are proud to be a part of this caring and inclusive school. The school community admires the headteacher's passion and pride for Brickhouse Primary. Staff work very well together to make a positive difference for the pupils that attend. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils rise to this challenge. Behaviour is calm and disruption to learning is rare. Relationships between pupils and adults are highly positive and respectful. Pupils told us that they feel safe and that there are adults to help them. Pupils understand what bullying is and are confident that adults will resolve any issues. An annual 'health and safety week' makes pupils aware of the dangers they may face and teaches them how to keep themselves safe and healthy. Molly-Mae, the school dog, helps pupils and staff overcome fears or anxieties they may have. Leaders are determined that pupils will enjoy rich experiences throughout their time at the school. The younger children get to experience a 'seaside day' when sand and donkeys come to Brickhouse. All pupils also get to watch a visiting theatre group twice yearly. Older pupils have the chance to attend the Young Voices concert.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not defined the precise knowledge that they want pupils to learn. Consequently, pupils do not learn as well as they should and pupils' knowledge is not secure in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that they identify and sequence the important knowledge that they want pupils to learn in these subjects so that pupils can make the best possible progress.
- On some occasions, pupils are not given sufficient opportunities to extend their learning. As a result of this, some pupils do not make as much progress as they could. Leaders should ensure that opportunities are planned to extend all pupils' learning to ensure that they achieve the best that they can.
- Staff do not have high enough expectations for handwriting and presentation of work. This means some pupils form letters incorrectly and work is sometimes poorly presented. Leaders should ensure that teachers have consistently high expectations for handwriting and presentation in all subjects and help pupils to reach these expectations.
