OFSTED stated that Pupils are taught to be proud, brave and determined, and they are. They are proud of their work, determined to try hard, and have worked bravely with teachers to improve this school. Leaders value pupils’ views as to how the school can keep improving. By following the ‘Brackenbury Way’ and being their ‘Brackenbury Best’, pupils know how to behave well. They listen to teachers, follow the school’s rules and help each other. Pupils live up to teachers’ high aspirations for achievement. They work hard in lessons because they want to be good learners. Every pupil is encouraged to play their part in this inclusive school.
OFSTED recognised the efforts and success we have had in providing a great start to school in Reception and a strong curriculum that starts on the Early Years. They noted the focus on reading right from the start of school -
Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum that builds upon what children learn in the early years. Here, they learn and develop strong skills that they can use with increasing independence. Pupils build the knowledge they need to succeed in wellordered steps. Reading is at the heart of the curriculum.
