What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 November 2023

Pupils thrive at Brigg Primary School. They are proud of their school and the adults who help them. Strong relationships mean that many pupils feel confident in sharing any worries. One pupil said, 'The staff help us to become the best of ourselves.' Pupils know the school values of respect, determination and self-belief well and demonstrate these in the classroom and around school. The school aspires that every child will succeed. All staff have high expectations of learning and behaviour in school. As a result, classrooms are calm and focused. Pupils say that they feel safe in school. Pupils know that if there are incidents of bullying, then staff will deal with these. Parents are highly supportive of the school and are pleased how staff look after their children. The school provides many opportunities to develop pupils' experiences and knowledge beyond the curriculum. There are planned visits and visitors who support different aspects of pupils' wider learning, such as an Olympic boxer and different authors. Pupils relish the responsibilities of school council, respect and sports ambassadors and playtime buddies.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects like RE and geography, some of the learning activities do not allow pupils to demonstrate their understanding of new knowledge effectively. This means that some pupils' knowledge is not secure or they have developed misconceptions about their learning. The school should ensure that teachers plan activities that support pupils in learning the most important key knowledge more securely.
