What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

Brookwood Primary School's HEART values of 'Happiness, Enthusiasm, Aspiration, Respect, and Togetherness' pulse through this school. They are important to everyone. As a result, this is a warm, positive and inclusive school. Where staff know pupils and their families well. Pupils work and play, harmoniously. They behave very well and enjoy positive relationships with each other. Pupils hold a clear sense of right and wrong. Many pupils join at different points of the school year. Whenever they join, each new pupil gets the help that they need to settle in swiftly. New pupils adjust well, as they quickly learn the school's behaviour routines that help everyone learn well. The school provides learning and wider opportunities that pupils enjoy and benefit from. Pupils achieve well and are suitably prepared for the future. They say they are encouraged to be respectful, and they are. This is a school that works hard to meet the needs of all pupils, no matter what their background or situation. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are given the knowledge and tools that they need to access the full curriculum. Staff know these pupils very well and inspire them to be successful.

What the school should improve

  • The work that teachers sometimes give to pupils does not match the intended curriculum. This means that pupils do not get to practise the small steps of knowledge or skills as well as they need to. The school should continue to train and develop teachers' subject knowledge so that they can make informed choices about the tasks given to pupils.
  • In some foundation subjects, opportunities for checking what pupils know and can do are sometimes missed. This means that pupils' misconceptions are not always rectified both at the point of learning and after. The school should ensure that teachers are supported to check pupils' understanding systematically in lessons and use this information to quickly address misconceptions or gaps in pupils' knowledge.
  • The attendance of some pupils, especially those who are disadvantaged, is too low. This means that some pupils are missing too much of their education. Leaders should ensure that they strengthen their work with parents and carers so that that pupils' attendance improves.
