What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 November 2022

Brook House Junior School pupils are proud to attend this school. They say that the school makes them feel 'warm and happy inside'. Pupils understand, and follow, the school values: 'Be ready, be safe, be kind'. They behave well throughout the school day. Leaders ensure that pupils know how to, and are confident to, report any concerns that they may have. This can be through the worry box or having an identified trusted adult they can talk to. Pupils are confident to report any concerns, such as bullying. Pupils feel safe. Pupils enjoy the carefully planned extra-curricular activities on offer. These range from theatre and residential trips to sports clubs. Some pupils run lunchtime activities, such as a popular dance club for other pupils. There are several opportunities for pupils to develop as leaders. Members of the school council make a difference. Playground leaders relish the responsibility of leading games with other pupils.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils with SEND do not make as much progress as they could. This is because some teachers do not identify precise targets that pupils with SEND need to be successful. Leaders need to monitor the plans that teachers develop. This will enable them to support teachers to write precise targets and implement strategies that will ensure that all pupils with SEND are successful.
  • In wider curriculum subjects, such as history and art, teachers do not consistently check what pupils know and remember before moving on to new learning. This prevents some pupils accessing new content. Leaders need to continue to develop their systems to check pupils' understanding and retention of knowledge. This will enable teachers to address these gaps before introducing new content.
