What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 May 2024
Pupils including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well at Brookhurst Primary School. They meet the school's high expectations. Pupils are proud to share work in their learning journals and in displays around the school. They appreciate the care and support that staff provide. Pupils feel safe and happy. They know they can talk to an adult if anything is worrying them. Pupils enjoy leadership responsibilities such as well-being ambassadors or road safety officers. The younger children have an older 'learning partner' who looks after them. Pupils play together happily in the playground and cooperate well in the classroom. The school provides an impressive range of opportunities for pupils to develop their interests and talents. Pupils can attend clubs such as choir, football, yoga, cooking and drama. Music is important at Brookhurst. Many pupils learn to play instruments and the school band play tunefully each week. Pupils learn to develop opinions and respectfully express their own views. They have opportunities to perform and speak publicly in the classroom and in assembly. Older pupils participate in national debates with pupils from other schools. When they leave Brookhurst, pupils are confident well-rounded individuals who are ready for the next stage of their education.
What the school should improve
- The school does not always communicate with parents in a way that all parents feel is helpful or timely. As a result, some parents do not feel they are well informed about how their children are doing and the wider work of the school. The school should review how it communicates with parents, including parents of pupils with SEND, so that all parents get the information they need.
- The early years outdoor area is in need of development. Currently children have limited opportunities to consolidate their learning or practise and apply what they have learned outdoors. The school should ensure that children in early years benefit from a well- resourced and engaging outdoor area.
