What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Brookfield Primary School is guided by its 'WARM' ethos to be a school that is 'welcoming, achieving, respectful and magical'. This vision is embraced by the school's caring staff and recognised by pupils and parents/carers. Pupils are positive about all aspects of school life. They try hard in lessons and play happily together at playtimes in the pleasant outdoor space. The curriculum provides well for pupils' academic and wider personal development. This begins in the early years, where children enjoy an exceptionally well-planned variety of learning experiences. Pupils develop a deep understanding of British values, including equality and diversity. These themes are discussed regularly in assemblies and in lessons across the curriculum. One pupil commented to inspectors, 'We take diversity seriously here.' This is an inclusive school. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive high-quality care. Expert staff know these pupils well. They identify where pupils need extra support and make sure that all pupils can benefit from the ambitious curriculum. Pupils feel safe in school. They learn how to manage their emotions. When they are worried, they trust that staff will help them.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, lesson activities do not always provide pupils with opportunities to learn the knowledge that is identified in the curriculum securely. When this happens, pupils do not reliably deepen their understanding. Sometimes, they do not remember what they have learned. The school needs to support all staff to develop the expertise to deliver all subjects consistently well.
