Strengths
- “Pupils at Bratton Fleming are respectful and considerate.”
- “Leaders and governors have high expectations of everyone.”
- “They challenge the school to live up to its motto: ‘Pride in all we do’.”
To improve
- “Leaders recognise that, in a few subjects, the curriculum does not help pupils to remember and build on what they learn.”
- “Teachers’ subject knowledge is sometimes insecure.”
- “This makes it difficult for them to plan effective sequences of learning for pupils, or to emphasise the right things.”
