What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2023
Staff and children 'SHINE' at Brookfields Primary School. Pupils know that adults care about them. In return, pupils work hard and are happy at this nurturing and inclusive school. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' achievement and behaviour. Pupils get the help they need to meet these expectations. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), generally achieve well. Pupils are polite and welcoming to new pupils and visitors. They are proud of their school and say it is 'fun and friendly'. Pupils understand the rules of ready, respectful and safe and they behave well. Staff deal with bullying effectively. Pupils know to talk to adults if they have a worry. Pupils are confident that staff will deal with their concerns. As a result, pupils feel safe. Pupils have opportunities to visit places such as a farms and museums. These visits allow pupils to see in real life what they have learned about in the classroom. This helps them to remember important information. Many pupils take on responsibilities such as well-being ambassadors, playmakers and school councillors. These roles teach them to be responsible and 'get them ready for the future'.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always deliver the curriculum as clearly as leaders would like. As a result, some pupils do not always remember more over time. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum in every subject is delivered as intended so pupils can fully build their knowledge over time.
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly. They are missing too much learning and miss opportunities to benefit from the range of activities provided by the school. Leaders should continue their work to reduce persistent absence so that these pupils attend school regularly and can take full advantage of the good quality of education that is offered by the school.
- The outdoor learning environment in the early years is not as well developed as it could be. Children do not benefit from engaging opportunities to learn outside. Leaders should ensure that staff in the early years develop the outdoor provision to enable children to benefit from well-planned learning opportunities outside.
