What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 December 2023

Pupils thrive at New Bradwell Primary School. The school is determined that all pupils will achieve their very best. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the work of the school, with one stating that the 'curriculum is challenging and varied and gives the children scope to explore their interests and achieve goals'. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in lessons and around the school. Staff know the pupils very well and there are positive and trusting relationships. Young leaders demonstrate great maturity while undertaking their duties such as being librarians and playground pals. The school's lunchtimes are social times, which are happy and joyful occasions. Pupils develop a strong sense of right and wrong, understanding that everyone has a moral code to follow. They demonstrate high levels of self- discipline throughout the school. Pupils benefit from an impressive extra-curricular offer. Many take part in numerous clubs and activities, including the school orchestra and performing at local and national events. The extensive sports provision enables all pupils, regardless of abilities, to access a wider range of activities. The take-up of clubs is high, meeting the needs of all pupils.

What the school should improve

  • Assessment arrangements within a number of foundation subjects are in development and not yet used consistently well. Teachers are therefore not always confident in knowing how secure pupils are in their understanding of key knowledge. The school should ensure assessment is used well so that pupils know and remember more over the long term.
  • There is variation in the experience and expertise of subject leaders, with some being new to their posts. As a result, not all subject leaders are providing teachers with the support they need to implement the curriculum more successfully. The school should ensure that subject leadership across the whole curriculum supports staff consistently well in delivering a high-quality learning experience for pupils.
