Broughton Fields Primary School

Highlights from Latest Inspection

Summary of key findings for parents and pupils

This is a good school. The strong leadership of the headteacher, deputy headteacher and governors has successfully created a passionate, dedicated, enthusiastic and skilled team. They strive to provide the very best for each individual pupil at Broughton Fields.

The leaders of the school relentlessly focus on improving the quality of teaching and this is why achievement has risen rapidly. Members of staff are proud to work at the school. Teaching is rarely less than good.

There are examples of outstanding teaching across the school. The headteacher and deputy headteacher set an excellent example with their own teaching. Reading is particularly strong in the sc...hool.

The teaching of phonics (linking letters and sounds) is good and well structured. As a result of this, very many pupils love reading and are able to read a wide range of books. Attitudes to learning are exemplary and this makes a significant contribution to the improvement and good progress seen.

The behaviour of pupils in lessons and around school is outstanding. They feel safe and enjoy school. It is not yet an outstanding school because : Pupils' achievement in writing is not as high as in reading and mathematics.

Teachers need to make sure that the more able pupils make even stronger progress in lessons.
