What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 May 2024
There is an atmosphere of togetherness at Brown Clee CofE Primary School. There is a strong sense of pastoral care that permeates the learning environment. Pupils appreciate this. They know they are cared for, which helps them to feel safe. In lessons, pupils listen well and focus on their work. They enjoy working together to help each other with their learning. The pupils also love spending time with their friends, whether it be chatting in the dining room, playing handball on the playground, or participating in activities on the field. During break time, they make the most of their free time and enjoy every moment. Leaders have placed the school values, such as respect, at the heart of everyday life. Pupils embody these values. They welcome visitors with a smile and display good manners. Leaders, supported by governors and staff, have high expectations of all pupils. They want them to 'be the best they can be'. As a result, they have made changes to improve the quality of education that pupils experience. Nonetheless, they are keen to improve the curriculum even further. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about all aspects of school life. In particular, they value the family feel of the school, which they feel a part of.
What the school should improve
- The school is not making effective checks on how well the curriculum is being taught. This means that leaders are not always aware of what is working well and where changes may be required. The school should make effective checks on how well the curriculum is taught, so that any inconsistencies can be identified, and appropriate support put in place.
- The school is not using formative assessment consistently well to identify pupils' misconceptions. As a result, misconceptions are sometimes not identified and pupils' misconceptions remain unchecked. The school should routinely use formative assessment to identify pupils' misconceptions, so they can be addressed at the earliest opportunity.
