Broughton Jewish Cassel Fox Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 December 2022

Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel safe and happy at the school. Girls and boys told inspectors that staff treat them fairly and equally. They learn to respect different people and families. Pupils achieve well due to the high expectations of leaders and staff. Pupils are polite and sensible in lessons and around the school. They fulfil leaders' high expectations of their behaviour, including those set out in the recently revised behaviour policy. Pupils said, and inspectors' evidence indicates, that leaders deal well with issues of bullying. Several pupils are trained anti-bullying ambassadors and hold important roles at the school. Pupils are well prepared to become active, contributing, thoughtful adult members of modern society. They develop awareness of important aspects of British life, such as the monarchy. They learn to appreciate the work of artists such as O'Keefe and Miró. Pupils recognise the achievements of famous Jewish and non-Jewish men and women in history. Pupils gain many new skills and extra knowledge through attending a wide variety of extra-curricular activities, such as history club and choir. Pupils undertake valuable trips as part of the curriculum, for instance to the beach at Formby Point to develop their knowledge of coastal erosion and dune formation.

What the school should improve

• In a few subjects, leaders have not thought deeply enough about the key knowledge that they want pupils to learn, nor the order in which staff should teach this information. This means that pupils do not learn some of the curriculum as securely as they should. Leaders should make certain that the curriculum content in these subjects is well thought out.
