What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 October 2023
Brunswick Community Primary School is more than a school. It is a place that draws families, children and staff together to learn, aspire and achieve. There is a strong thread of care and support in lessons, playtimes and the extra-curricular clubs. The school and the community are fully invested in the education of the pupils. For the pupils and families the school is a special place, where there are opportunities to grow and discover new interests. For example, the Brunswick Project provides pupils with a platform to share their views, learn life skills and support local charities. The school is calm. Staff work with pupils to create a culture of respect and understanding. As a result, pupils feel safe and listened to. Pupils like the fact that staff are there to help them if they have worries. Staff manage behaviour well. This means that lessons are rarely interrupted by poor behaviour. The school has a diverse curriculum. It is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, pupils produce some excellent work in their books. The school is fully aware of the areas that need improvement, in particular the phonics outcomes in Year 1.
What the school should improve
- Additional support for weaker readers has been focused on a small cohort of pupils. This means that not all pupils have received the help they need. As a result, the proportion of pupils achieving the expected standard in the Year 1 phonics check is significantly below the national level. The school needs to ensure that effective phonics support is given to all pupils who would benefit.
- In some subjects, the school has not fully considered times when the subject is not being explicitly taught. This means that opportunities to revisit taught knowledge in different subjects are missed. This potentially risks the desired important knowledge not being secure and remembered by all pupils. The school must ensure that curriculum thinking, in every subject, provides regular opportunities to revisit and embed learning across the curriculum.
