Brymore Academy

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 February 2024

Pupils are proud to be a 'Brymore Boy.' They live out the values of respect and working hard through the ethos of the school. For example, boys naturally engage visitors in polite conversation with interest and courtesy. Some pupils told inspectors coming to the school has been 'the making of them'. In lessons, pupils work hard. Teachers encourage pupils to take risks when they contribute to discussion. Pupils say bullying is unusual. They are confident they have many trusted adults they can talk to if they have a concern. Pupils know the school act promptly to reports of poor behaviour or inappropriate language. The school has high expectations of pupils in every aspect of its work. As a result, pupils embrace school life. The 'four cornerstones' of the school inspire boys in all year groups to do their best. For example, older pupils take their turn to work on the farm. In the walled garden, many boys manage their own plot. Pupils train and play for the many sports teams. They learn engineering, welding and blacksmithing through the wider development programme. The whole school proudly involve themselves in running open day events, such as the annual country fair.
