What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2023
Bryn Offa is a happy, welcoming school at the heart of the community. Everyone looks out for each other and there is a strong ethos of teamwork. Pupils love coming to school and feel safe. As one parent said, 'They always come home with a smile on their faces.' Pupils say they can talk to staff about their worries, and staff will always listen and sort things out. Pupils are polite and kind. They learn about important values of fairness, forgiveness and respect. Bullying is rare and, if there are any problems, staff sort things out quickly. In lessons, pupils behave well, work hard and enjoy talking about their learning. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can learn, especially in mathematics and reading, and pupils enjoy this challenge. There are a wide range of opportunities to develop pupils' talents and interests. These include many sporting clubs and competitions, trips and residentials, as well as working to gain an environmental award. Pupils enjoy helping in the community, whether it is singing at the Memorial Hall or raising funds for charity.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not identified the subject-specific knowledge and vocabulary that pupils need to learn in a few subjects. Where this is the case, lessons do not enable pupils to know and remember more over time. This means that pupils have gaps in their knowledge and understanding in these subjects. Leaders should work with teachers to make sure that the important knowledge and skills in these subjects are identified, so pupils build on what they already know.
- Teachers do not check closely enough what pupils have remembered from their previous learning in some subjects. This means that teachers do not always identify where pupils have gaps in their understanding, so do not build on what they already know. Leaders should make sure that checks on pupils' learning are used consistently well, so that pupils achieve as well as they can.
