What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
The Bramptons is a nurturing, child-centred school. Pupils feel happy and well supported. The school values, which include respect and courtesy, are at the heart of everything. Communication and relationships between pupils and staff are strong. Staff know their pupils and families well. Pupils look out for each other. There is a restorative approach to behaviour, focusing on the school value of respect. In lessons, pupils focus well and enjoy their learning. During lunch and break times, pupils play happily and mix across all year groups. Bullying is very rare. Pupils understand what bullying is, including cyber-bullying. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders help pupils develop the skills to become lifelong learners. Leaders have designed a curriculum which prepares pupils well for life in modern Britain. Pupils' knowledge of fundamental British values is secure. They understand how these values relate to their own lives. Older pupils can articulate that democracy is not secure everywhere in the world. Pupils talk with pride about their school. They enjoy taking on responsibilities. Older pupils enjoy being 'buddies' for children in Reception.
What the school should improve
- The important knowledge that pupils need to embed into their long-term memory is not yet explicitly identified across all subjects. This means that in some subjects, teachers cannot always ensure that pupils' learning builds on previous learning. Leaders should ensure that the important knowledge pupils should learn is identified in all subjects.
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not always check pupils' knowledge of the content that has been taught. As a result, they do not consistently identify misconceptions and gaps in pupils' knowledge. Leaders should ensure that teachers have the knowledge and skills to know how best to check pupils' learning across all subjects.
