Ofsted's report, in its own words

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), at Bredbury Green Primary School thrive in all aspects of their development. The vision of 'inspire, empower' runs like a golden thread through all parts of school life. Pupils, and children in the early years, come into school with smiles on their faces, happy to see their friends and the staff.

Pupils typically behave well during lessons. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils trust that staff will help them with any worries or concerns that they may have. Pupils strive to be the best that they can be. They are polite, respectful and well mannered. The specially resourced provisions for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision) are oases of serenity.

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

From the beginning of the early years to the end of Year 6 the school has designed a broad and rich curriculum. The curriculum is ambitious for pupils, including for those with SEND. The additional needs of pupils with SEND, including those who access the specially resourced provisions, are identified early. Staff are adept at supporting these children and pupils well. They adapt their curriculum delivery effectively to meet pupils' individual needs.

Most curriculum areas are well designed. The school has structured the curriculum so that pupils build their knowledge and make connections in learning over time. However, there are some subjects that have not been as well thought through. In these subjects, the school has not identified the key knowledge and vocabulary that it wants pupils to learn. This hinders pupils from learning all that they should.
