What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2023
Pupils talk proudly of their school. They notice the changes that are taking place and describe the school as receiving an 'upgrade' from leaders. Staff teach pupils the behaviours that help them to learn and work well together. Pupils respond positively to this. They concentrate in lessons and are calm and quiet when moving around the school. Staff make sure they notice pupils who are behaving well so that they receive the praise and recognition they deserve. Pupils say that when they play together, some pupils occasionally fall out with each other. They report that bullying can happen, but it is rare. However, they are clear that senior leaders are always on hand to sort out problems. Personal, social, health and economic education provides a safe space for pupils to discuss important issues. Pupils say that there are adults to whom they can turn if they have a worry. The pastoral team provides effective extra help to those who need it. Pupils have a 'Brockworth Passport'. It challenges them to complete activities based on the school values of creativity and bravery. A wide range of after-school clubs enables pupils to further develop their interests and talents.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the most important knowledge that all pupils must know and remember has not yet been identified. As a result, some pupils do not build their knowledge well in these subjects. Leaders need to identify the critical components of knowledge that all pupils need to learn, ensuring that pupils remember this over time.
- A small number of younger pupils who struggle to learn to read need more support to help them to become fluent readers. These pupils are not developing their reading fluency quickly enough, and this will hold back their learning across the curriculum. Leaders need to ensure that those pupils who need further help to learn to read fluently receive sufficient support to catch up swiftly.
