What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 January 2025

Pupils are proud to be part of the 'Broadway family'. They behave well and enjoy school. Pupils develop supportive, respectful relationships with staff and each other. They look out for one another and offer help if someone is struggling or feeling worried. One pupil summed up the views of many by saying, 'If someone is down, we help them to get back up.' Pupils are clear that everyone is welcome at this school. The school encourages pupils to become positive, active citizens. As members of the eco- council, pupils have planted trees and picked up litter in the local area. Pupils have raised money for charities and donated items to help develop schools in other countries. They are proud of the impact that they have on others through their roles as well-being ambassadors and school councillors. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Staff deliver a broad and engaging curriculum that extends beyond the academic. Pupils look forward to showcasing their talents at the annual 'Broadway's got talent' and 'Best in Broadway' events. Pupils typically achieve well across the curriculum. Children in early years get off to a flying start in their education and are exceptionally well prepared for Year 1.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school has not identified with enough clarity the key knowledge that pupils should learn. This hinders the school from ensuring that lesson activities effectively support pupils to secure, deepen and apply their knowledge. The school should continue its work to refine the key knowledge that pupils should learn in these subjects, so that their learning builds securely over time.
  • In some subjects, the school's systems to check how well pupils are learning are not as effective as they could be. They do not clearly identify gaps and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge so that these can be swiftly addressed. The school should ensure that checks on pupils' learning enable the school to accurately check the depth of pupils' knowledge so that, across all subjects, they are well prepared for the next stage in their education.
