Strengths
- “At this friendly school, pupils and adults do everything the ‘Bromham Way’.”
- “Pupils are prepared well for their future lives.”
- “They are extremely polite and go out of their way to make visitors or new arrivals feel welcome at their school.”
To improve
- “In some lessons, teachers miss opportunities to give pupils helpful feedback on their work.”
- “Additionally, when feedback is given, pupils do not always act on it.”
- “This means that errors and misconceptions are sometimes left unaddressed, and pupils’ progress is slowed.”
