STAFF and pupils at Bratton Primary School are celebrating a recent ‘Good’ Ofsted report following an inspection of the school last November.
Headteacher Emma Williams said, “We are pleased to be able to share with you the final report from our recent Ofsted inspection back in November. Bratton Primary School remains a good school and we are already well under way with the things that we could do better.”
A spokesperson for the school says, “The report found that leaders place a high priority on pupils’ personal development. Adults know each pupil well. They are quick to spot any changes in their well-being and take rapid action. Pupils are safe and well looked after.
“Pupils know how the school’s values help guide them to make the right choices. For example, they learn to ‘respect’ differences and show ‘empathy’ towards others. Pupils behave sensibly in lessons and around the school. Bullying is uncommon. Staff sort out any issues quickly.
“The recently appointed headteacher is providing clarity and direction. She has quickly identified the weaknesses. She has rapidly gained the trust and respect of staff, pupils, and the curriculum is proving successful.
“Leaders now have in place an ambitious curriculum from Reception to Year 6. Classrooms and the library are now full of interesting books for pupils to enjoy. Story time is an important part of the day.
“Staff provide high-quality pastoral care. Pupils value the chance to discuss any worries or concerns. Pupils understand the importance of behaving well. They follow the rules and routines. As a result, behaviour in lessons and throughout school is typically calm.
“Parents comment that their children are safe, well looked after and enjoy school. They have confidence in the new leadership to bring about change. Parents comment that their children are safe, well looked after and enjoy school.”
