What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
Leaders have ensured that there is a vibrant and inclusive community feel at Mitchell Brook. Parents and carers value the experiences that leaders provide for their children to enhance their time at school. The STAR values (successful, team focused, aspiring attitude, respectful and spirited) are lived out through all that takes place at the school. Pupils described how they exemplify these, both in their learning and play. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), learn an ambitious curriculum. Pupils' outcomes in the English and mathematics assessments at the end of Year 6 are well above national averages. In some other subjects, however, pupils' knowledge does not develop in as much detail and depth in Years 1 to 6. Pupils' excellent behaviour during lessons promotes their learning. At breaktimes, pupils take part in lots of physical activities, and they play well together. Pupils care for and support one another. They understand the school rules and routines, and staff use lots of effective approaches to make sure that these are followed consistently. Incidents of bullying are rare and dealt with swiftly and effectively. All of this means that pupils have a highly positive experience of school life. Pupils enjoy their lessons and the extra-curricular activities in which they participate. Pupils spoke confidently about who their trusted adults are and said that they feel safe at school. Pupils are kept safe.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects in Years 1 to 6, particularly where the curriculum has been more recently introduced, the choice of learning activities is not as clearly thought out and purposeful as it is in others. In these instances, pupils are sometimes not supported to learn and master all of the intended curriculum knowledge. These gaps in pupils' understanding can persist over time. The school should continue to refine approaches to teaching the curriculum so that the activities chosen ensure that pupils' understanding grows over time.
