Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school The headteacher has a deep sense of care and aspiration for pupils. He is determined that pupils have positive learning experiences and the necessary skills to develop into mature young people. Leaders, governors, staff and pupils throughout the school are committed to the core values of trust and respect that underpin the very strong relationships within the 'Broomhill family'.

Governors receive detailed information about the school that they use well. They effectively challenge leaders and contribute their skills to the school's push for progress. Leaders ensure that teaching is consistently good.

They have been particularly successful ...in improving the teaching of reasoning in mathematics. This is now a particular strength across the school. Pupils make good progress from their starting points, with some rapid progress in mathematics.

Disadvantaged pupils and those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities make the same good progress as others. They are supported by carefully tailored interventions. Pupils are keen to learn because the school's curriculum interests and enthuses them.

They enjoy a wide range of experiences, including unique opportunities linked to the school's own farm. Pupils behave well during the school day, including at lunch and playtimes. There is a strong sense of tolerance and understanding.

Pupils say that they feel safe, valued and well cared for. Teachers throughout the school do not consistently ensure that pupils check and accurately apply their English grammar, punctuation and spelling in their writing. Teachers are not all equally skilled at ensuring that pupils know how they could improve their writing to reach the highest standards.

This applies particularly to the most able pupils, including those who are disadvantaged. Senior leaders have not ensured that priorities and expectations are clearly enough defined. This means that leaders across the school are not always able to secure consistently rapid progress across their subjects.
