Strengths
- “Outwood Academy Brumby is a school that puts the best interests of pupils at the heart of everything it does.”
- “The school has an unswerving commitment to providing pupils with a high-quality education, irrespective of their background or ability.”
- “Staff strive to remove the many barriers to learning that pupils face.”
To improve
- “However, the impact of the school’s work is not borne out in the 2023 published data.”
- “However, some older pupils, including some who are disadvantaged, have not benefited from the same support as their younger peers.”
- “These pupils do not access the wider curriculum as well as they should because they find reading difficult.”
