What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 June 2023
Through their work and relationships with others, pupils aspire to 'be Brindley'. Staff are caring and compassionate and help pupils to be their best. The school's values are known, understood and shared by all. Bullying is rare and staff deal with issues if it happens. Pupils are welcomed to the school as individuals, differences are celebrated and pupils are nurtured to be themselves. Pupils have very positive attitudes, and this is reflected by their exemplary behaviour. They are determined to do their best, and teachers encourage them to achieve this. Pupils enjoy being challenged. They achieve well and they are proud of their achievements. Leaders monitor pupils' behaviour carefully and take the right action to prevent bullying. The school is a strong community. Leaders have carefully developed the curriculum so that pupils learn about the world outside of their village. Leaders also ensure that the curriculum is delivered as intended. The curriculum is enhanced by a range of visits and visitors and is enriched by high-quality resources. Pupils enjoy the responsibility of leading assemblies in their own and other schools. They share the manner and message of how to be a respectful, well-behaved learner. A strong team spirit has enabled the school to flourish.
What the school should improve
- For some pupils with SEND the adaptations made by staff to lessons in a few subjects do not provide enough support to enable these pupils to access learning. As a result, some pupils' learning is hindered. Leaders need to support staff to adapt the implementation of the curriculum so that pupils' learning builds on what they already know.
- The extra-curricular opportunities for pupils provided by the school are limited. This means that pupils do not have an opportunity outside of lessons to nurture their talents and interests more fully. Leaders should work to provide for a wider range of extra-curricular opportunities for pupils.
