What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 November 2022
Bringhurst Primary School promotes a strong culture of ambition, achievement and respect. Pupils are proud of their school and show positive attitudes to their learning. Leaders consider reading to be the 'bedrock' of the curriculum and staff promote a love of reading. Teachers read daily to pupils. They model how to read fluently and with expression. The library is at the heart of the school community. The school librarians take pride in creating a space in which pupils enjoy reading. Staff have high expectations of what all pupils can achieve. Pupils meet these expectations. Pupils feel safe and happy at school. One pupil said, 'All the teachers are very kind and they always listen.' There are clear and robust systems in place to promote good behaviour. Leaders do not tolerate bullying. There is a wealth of enrichment opportunities available for pupils to access. One pupil commented, 'I got the chance to sing in Italian with professional opera singers in a real opera house.' Sport is an important part of pupils' experience of school. Staff ensure that pupils develop skills in participation and competition. Pupils value all extra- curricular sporting opportunities. Older pupils enjoy their roles as 'Sports Ambassadors'.
What the school should improve
- Pupils learn about diversity, fundamental British values and different cultures within the curriculum. Some pupils cannot relate their understanding of fundamental British values to their own lives and community. This means they are not being as well prepared for life in modern Britain as they could be. Leaders should ensure that teachers support pupils to make connections between their learning about fundamental British values in school and society and their own lives more broadly.
