Brading Primary School continues to be a good school, according to the latest report by Ofsted.
Inspectors visited the West Street school on 11th February for their first visit since July 2016. During that time leaders are said to have maintained a good standard of education.
According to a report published this week, pupils at Brading learn well together in an inclusive and supportive environment. All pupils are accepted as individuals, working together as part of a strong community.
There was particular praise for the early years provision with children said to be very well cared for so that they settle quickly. This builds their confidence.
Inspectors also record that pupils’ individual needs always come first, reflecting the school’s Christian ethos and leaders and teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve regardless of individual circumstances.
Most pupils behave well and learning activities are rarely affected by poor behaviour so that all pupils can enjoy learning. Pupils themselves celebrate their differences positively.
Ofsted’s report also states that leaders need to continue using more experienced members of staff to develop the skills of less experienced coordinators to ensure that this is done consistently well in all subjects. Leaders also need to continue to focus on the sequence of learning in individual subjects or topics, identifying opportunities for pupils to practise their skills and opportunities to overlearn, so that pupils know and remember more over time.
