Bromham CofE Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 March 2023

At this friendly school, pupils and adults do everything the 'Bromham Way'. This unwritten code focuses on positive behaviour, relationships and attitudes. Pupils are prepared well for their future lives. They are extremely polite and go out of their way to make visitors or new arrivals feel welcome at their school. Pupils chose the school's golden rules, 'ready, respectful and safe'. Most pupils follow these in all areas of the school. Those pupils who find this more challenging are supported to improve their behaviour. Bullying rarely happens, and pupils are confident that it is dealt with effectively. They feel safe and trust staff to look after them. Pupils understand and demonstrate the high expectations for behaviour and learning. They are encouraged to work hard. They enjoy their interesting lessons. Pupils achieve well, especially in reading. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities beyond the curriculum. They take on responsibilities such as house captains, librarians, eco-leaders, junior leaders or members of the collective worship team. Older pupils build their independence through participating in a residential trip. All pupils have the opportunity to perform at 'Bromfest', a summer concert on the school field.

What the school should improve

• Teachers' feedback to pupils about their learning is not consistently effective across the school nor across subjects. Sometimes, pupils' errors and misconceptions are left unaddressed, and they do not learn as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that all teachers deal with pupils' errors and misconceptions systematically and that the feedback given to pupils is effective. This will enable pupils to strengthen their knowledge and understanding and make the progress leaders expect.
