What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2022
Brook Primary School is a caring and safe place for pupils to make friends and be themselves. Pupils are happy here. They not only understand the importance of the school's values, but they also demonstrate them every day. This helps pupils to develop positive attitudes and good character. Staff show care and concern towards pupils and treat them with respect. Pupils talk about how their teachers help them to learn by making lessons fun. Pupils say if bullying happens, it is dealt with effectively. School records confirm this. If pupils have a concern, they know that they must tell a trusted adult. They are confident that staff will deal with it appropriately. Leaders have high expectations for every child. They are ambitious for pupils to succeed in their learning, as well as in their personal development. A wide range of experiences complement the school curriculum. Pupils have many extra-curricular opportunities. These include learning to play a musical instrument, taking part in an overnight residential and links with Dudley performing arts. Leaders pride themselves on the community events that they organise throughout the year. Pupils help plan these events, which also include partnerships with local businesses.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in some subjects is less well developed and sequenced compared with others. Where this is the case, pupils' learning does not always build sufficiently well on their prior knowledge. Leaders should continue to develop and embed newly introduced curriculum plans in order that pupils can build up their knowledge and skills equally as well in all subjects.
- Teachers' expectations for pupils' written work across the curriculum are variable and not always high enough. Teachers do not consistently address errors in pupils' spelling, punctuation and grammar. Therefore, pupils do not learn from their mistakes. Leaders need to ensure that teachers help pupils to learn from their mistakes so that they improve the quality of their written work.
