What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 March 2023

Pupils of all backgrounds, cultures and ethnicities are guaranteed a warm welcome at this happy and nurturing school. New pupils, including children in the early years, quickly settle in well and soon feel valued members of the Broadhurst family. Staff are always on hand with a warm smile and a listening ear if pupils have any worries or problems. Leaders quickly deal with any bullying incidents should they arise. This helps pupils to feel special and safe. Leaders have created a can-do culture where pupils are encouraged to try their best each day. Pupils proudly strive to live up to leaders' high expectations of them. They work hard and relish the wealth of opportunities that leaders provide. Pupils behave well and play in harmony together. Pupils work together to continually improve their school. Members of the school parliament meet regularly with the school's 'prime minister' to organise special events and to support their local community. Mental health leaders help pupils to understand the importance of looking after their emotional well-being. Sports' ambassadors encourage pupils to keep fit and healthy. Parents and carers, who shared their views, feel a valued part of the school community.

What the school should improve

  • Some struggling readers do not attend school frequently enough. This hinders their progress through the reading programme. Leaders should continue to work with families to ensure that these pupils attend school regularly.
  • In a few subjects, leaders have recently made some further refinements to these curriculums. It is too soon to see the impact of these recent changes. Leaders should check that these refinements have a positive impact, so that pupils develop even deeper knowledge over time.
