What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 September 2023
Broom Leys School is a welcoming and caring school. Staff care for and nurture pupils, who feel safe and happy. Staff have high expectations of pupils' attitudes and conduct. Pupils live up to these expectations and are polite and hard-working. The school is calm and orderly. Leaders are passionate about the school's enrichment offer. Pupils visit museums, go to the pantomime, participate in bee-keeping and visit the House of Commons. Pupils also benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including the popular theatre club and the 'fish keeping' club. Pupils also have opportunities to contribute to the life of the school. Pupils can be on the school council and be sports and reading ambassadors. Pupils enjoy taking on these responsibilities as they know their views will be listened to. For example, the school council helped to raise money for new playground equipment. Parents and carers hold the school in high regard. A typical comment was: 'Staff have shown compassion, patience and empathy towards my child. We cannot speak highly enough of the school.' Another parent commented: 'It is reassuring to know that my children have spent their primary years as happy as they are. They will carry the knowledge and memories with them for life.'
What the school should improve
- Some pupils with SEND are not supported well enough by staff. This means that these pupils are unable to progress though the curriculum as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that all teachers and other adults use the information about pupils with SEND to adapt how they deliver curriculum content and to target the support appropriately.
- Some teachers do not always ensure that activities and the work given to pupils are effective in enabling the content to be understood and learned. Leaders must ensure that the delivery of the curriculum in all subjects is of equally high quality so that pupils learn as well as they should.
