What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

Pupils are happy and flourish at this exceptionally caring school. Staff greet pupils warmly each morning. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Respectful relationships permeate throughout the school. Pupils get along incredibly well and look out for each other thoughtfully. The school sets the highest expectations for pupils in all aspects of school life. Pupils are eager to do their best. They embrace the rich learning opportunities that staff provide for them. Pupils show admirable attitudes to learning. They grow in curiosity and fascination about the world around them. Pupils relish any challenge that is presented to them. These positive attitudes make a strong contribution to pupils' exceptional achievement across the curriculum. Pupils enjoy an abundance of wider curriculum opportunities, such as residential visits, clubs, trips and visitors. These enrichment experiences help to shape pupils into resilient and independent learners. Pupils take on leadership responsibilities determinedly. They want to make a positive difference to their school. For example, during breaktimes, the 'BFFs' organise games for pupils to play so that no one is left on their own. Pupils leave school with their 'Broadoak Backpacks' full to the brim with the skills and knowledge that they need to be successful in the future. They wear the school badge with tremendous pride and they feel privileged to attend this school.
