Brindishe Green School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 September 2023

Pupils are keen to attend school. This is reflected in the school's high attendance and punctuality figures. Leaders promote high ambitions for all, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are safe and happy here. Pupils are polite and courteous. They behave well in and around the school. Forging positive relationships, at all levels, is at the heart of the school. Pupils are encouraged to respect themselves and others. Staff encourage pupils to keep themselves healthy and fit. They promote pupils' understanding of the importance of exercise and healthy lifestyles. For example, through structured activities during play and lunchtimes, as well as a range of sport clubs after school. The school provides pupils with a range of opportunities to develop as young leaders. Pupils take great pride in carrying out their roles and duties as language interpreters, safety first and digital ambassadors. Staff, parents and carers are positive about the school. They appreciate the open- door culture leaders have cultivated.

What the school should improve

• In some foundation subjects, the knowledge and skills pupils need to know and remember is not clearly defined or coherently presented. This means that in these subjects, teaching does not develop pupils' subject-specific understanding routinely well. The school should ensure that subject leadership and expertise is developed, so that the content in all subjects is clearly identified and coherently sequenced, so that teaching builds on the important knowledge and skills that pupils need to know and remember.
