What This School Does Well
This school excels at delivering a distinctive bilingual education that helps pupils learn in both English and Spanish while building secure knowledge across the curriculum. Staff create a warm, inclusive environment where all children, including those with additional needs, feel they belong and can access learning alongside their peers. The school's strong focus on reading from the start and systematic approach to teaching phonics gives pupils excellent foundations for their education.
Key Strengths
- Pupils achieve well with national assessment outcomes in line with or above national averages
- Strong bilingual curriculum that is well-sequenced and builds knowledge systematically
- Inclusive culture where pupils with additional needs develop a sense of belonging and access learning meaningfully
- Staff prioritise reading and teach phonics accurately
- Leaders actively remove barriers to learning for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND
Areas for Improvement
- Pupils do not consistently demonstrate positive attitudes to learning in lessons
- Low-level disruption persists because staff apply behaviour routines inconsistently
- Leaders have not acted with enough urgency or precision to improve behaviour for learning
- Some pupils' handwriting is not as fluent or consistent as expected
- Opportunities to deepen and extend writing in early years are not fully maximised
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards are met - leaders have established an open culture where safeguarding is everyone's responsibility and concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed.
Extracurricular Activities
Extra-curricular clubs, sports leaders, school council, fundraising, community events including Spanish Christmas singing, visits to and hosting partner school in Madrid, therapeutic dog support
Bilingual Primary School in Brighton & Hove is an inclusive school where pupils achieve well across the curriculum in both English and Spanish. However, the school needs to improve behaviour for learning in lessons, as low-level disruption continues to interrupt pupils' progress.
