What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 September 2022
This is a happy school. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils, who all feel part of the Broomhill family. As one pupil said, 'We are called the 'Broomhill Family' and that is how it feels.' The 'Five Rs' of respect, reflective, relationships, responsible and resilient are lived out by all and are a common theme in every aspect of school life. Pupils know that there are high expectations of their behaviour. Low-level disruption is rare. This is an inclusive school in which differences are respected and pupils help each other. Pupils are taught about role models such as a local athlete and a past pupil who is now a professional footballer. They have had wheelchair basketball lessons. The 'Take Five' approach is used across the school to support pupils in their learning to try new activities. At playtimes, pupils access the new multi-gym playground equipment and the school's farm. They say that bullying is rare and that when it does happen, it always gets resolved. There are a lot of extra-curricular clubs on offer that pupils of all ages enjoy. These include environment, netball, football and art. The school has a welcoming and colourful learning environment.
What the school should improve
- In almost all subjects, the most important knowledge that pupils must learn is clearly identified and curriculum thinking supports pupils to build on their prior learning. This is less well developed in some aspects of English, particularly writing. Some pupils' writing is not as well developed as it could be. Leaders should ensure that the writing curriculum identifies the key knowledge that pupils must gain and that this enables pupils to build sequentially on what they have previously learned.
- There are too many pupils who do not attend school as often as they should. This hampers their learning. Leaders must build on the work they have already begun and ensure that pupil absence is reduced even further.
