Brook House Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 July 2023

The Brook House '5 ways', which include kindness, honesty and respect, are fundamental to the work of this school and all of the successful things that happen here. From the early years on, children are introduced to and revisit these values. They learn about their importance and they are taught to reflect on the way they treat one another. This helps to create an environment where pupils are happy and safe. Pupils manage their own behaviour extremely well. Children in early years learn well together, take turns and move calmly between different activities. Older pupils are keen to learn in their lessons and respond quickly to teachers' instructions. Behaviour rarely disrupts learning in the classroom. Break times are lively and fun, with pupils enjoying the outside space. Leaders and staff manage these areas well. Bullying is rare and any issues are dealt with swiftly by staff. Leaders are highly ambitious for all pupils in the school. They expect pupils to achieve consistently well in all areas of their learning. Staff waste no time teaching pupils to read from the very start of Reception Year. Reading is a priority throughout the school, so that pupils have the skills they need to access the broad range of subjects on offer. Pupils achieve exceptionally well, and this is reflected in their high outcomes at the end of their time at the school.
