Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are happy at Breamore. They value the nurture and care that they receive in this warm and welcoming school. Relationships between adults and pupils are exceptionally strong because adults know pupils as individuals. Pupils feel safe within this gentle culture. They know they can speak to any adult if they have any worries or concerns.
The school's 'Roots Curriculum' threads through all aspects of daily school life. Starting in the early years, children develop the important skills of understanding boundaries and self-regulation. They also develop important learning behaviours, such as resilience, focus and independence. Pupils know and understand the school values of justice, compassion and trust. They are able to link them to the school rules through being safe, ready and kind. Pupils are polite and friendly.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school has designed a broad, relevant and engaging curriculum. In all subjects, starting in the Reception class, the curriculum is well designed and sensibly ordered. The school has identified the key knowledge, vocabulary and skills that pupils need to know and remember. Teachers know what pupils have learned already, what new knowledge they need to teach and in what order. This ensures that pupils in the mixed-age classes build on their prior learning securely.
Teachers' subject knowledge is strong. Lessons start with teachers recapping previous learning. For example, in a history lesson, pupils had to recall historical facts learned from last week, last month and last year. This helps pupils to make links and recall what they have remembered. In most subjects, teachers successfully check pupils' understanding. However, in some lessons, teachers do not pick up misconceptions consistently well. Consequently, in these subjects, some pupils develop gaps in their learning.
