What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
Pupils at Bridge Farm Primary School attend well. As pupils arrive at school each morning, there is a palpable sense of excitement about the day's learning. Pupils have warm relationships with staff. They are safe and know that staff will help them if they have any worries. Pupils are polite and friendly. Their conduct is exemplary. There is a strong feeling of community and warmth that permeates through the school. This is informed by the school's values which include respect and collaboration. Pupils are keen to do their best. They recognise that to get better at something, it takes persistence and practice. They value the rewards they receive for their positive engagement and resilience. Pupils participate in a range of enrichment opportunities, such as football club and choir. Through activities such as these, they develop their talents and interests. Pupils build confidence by mixing with pupils from other schools at sporting events and community performances. Older pupils develop leadership qualities through positions of responsibility, such as play leaders. They understand that they are role models for younger pupils. Pupils make visits to places of interest. For example, pupils visited a castle to further develop their understanding of local history.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is not implemented effectively. This means that pupils do not build key subject knowledge in a secure and incremental way. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum in all subjects is taught well.
- Teachers' use of assessment is underdeveloped in some subjects. Therefore, gaps in pupils' knowledge are not always identified with precision or promptly addressed. The school should ensure that accurate assessment is used to inform teaching, so that it supports pupils to build their subject knowledge over time.
