What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 April 2023

Pupils are proud to attend Broseley C of E Primary School. Leaders and staff have created a warm and caring ethos. Everyone is made to feel welcome. Pupils are happy and look forward to their school day. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard in lessons and achieve these expectations. The school is at the centre of its community. Pupils love sharing their knowledge about their local market town. Pupils' learning is based on the school motto of 'growing global citizens'. This also gives pupils knowledge and experiences about the wider world. The school's Christian ethos helps pupils understand how to be a good citizen. Leaders support pupils to have high aspirations of themselves. They help pupils to understand their individual 'super strengths'. As a result, pupils are confident and talk about their future ambitions. Pupils say that staff give them many opportunities to be the best they can be. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils show respect to each other and to adults. They behave well around school. Pupils are polite and friendly. They enjoy opening doors and greet visitors with a smile.

What the school should improve

  • Some foundation subject leaders do not effectively evaluate the impact of their curriculum on pupils' learning. This means they do not know what knowledge pupils are remembering in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that all subject leaders have the necessary skills to evaluate their subject's impact on pupils.
  • Some foundation subjects are not being implemented frequently enough to cover the intended curriculum. As a result, pupils are not learning the key knowledge identified in these subjects and are at risk of falling behind. Leaders and governors need to ensure that teachers cover the intended curriculum in all foundation subjects.
