School inspectors OFSTED, recently visited Bradley Primary School in Nelson, and found the school to be performing at a Good level.
Although it did find room for improvement with the involvement from the governors, and a bit more focus on what pupils in certain subjects need to learn.
OFSTED said:
"The school is ambitious for pupils, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Many pupils are at the early stages of learning to speak English as an additional language when they join the school. They receive consistent support from staff to develop their vocabulary and spoken English. Pupils make the most of the learning opportunities that the school provides for them and achieve well."
"In a small number of subjects, the school has not finalised its curriculum thinking with regard to the important knowledge that pupils should learn. This hinders teachers from designing learning that helps pupils to build up a deep body of knowledge. The school should ensure that it finalises its curriculum thinking so that it is clear what pupils should learn and when this knowledge should be taught.
Governors do not hold the school to account for the quality of education. This limits their impact on school improvement. Governors should ensure that they access appropriate training to enable them to provide effective challenge and support."
