What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 October 2023
Broom Valley is a warm and welcoming school that is at the heart of its community. Because of this, those new to the school, including pupils from overseas, settle quickly. One pupil, reflecting the views of many, stated, 'The whole school is a big, huge family and no one gets left out.' Pupils enjoy learning in an environment in which they feel safe. Many pupils speak English as an additional language. Before starting at the school, some pupils have had no experience of learning in a formal setting. Staff quickly develop pupils' skills to enable them to learn. Relationships between adults and pupils are strong. Adults are excellent role models. Pupils behave well and know they have to make the correct choices, even when adults are not close by. They are awarded 'integrity stars' when making a sensible decision. Pupils are polite, very welcoming to visitors and are eager to talk about what they have learned. Incidents of bullying are rare, but when they do happen, the school is quick to sort them out. Pupils experience an exciting curriculum. The school has high expectations and aspirations for all pupils. These are reflected in the quality of pupils' work in books and on display.
What the school should improve
- Across the curriculum, some subjects do not match the quality of others. As a result, pupils remember more in some subjects than others. The school should further develop the curriculum so that it is of equal quality across all subject areas.
- Some pupils do not attend school frequently enough. Because of this, these pupils miss out on vital learning. The school must continue to improve the attendance of some pupils to ensure they benefit from the curriculum on offer.
