Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Success of the Curriculum: The updated curriculum and assessment procedures provide a clearer picture of pupils’ progress from their different starting points across the whole range of subjects.
Foundational Skills: Children are given opportunities to freely write in their exploratory play. However, a number of children, particularly boys, are not yet forming letters accurately.
Areas Needing Improvement: Improve the teaching of writing so that children in the early years and pupils in key stage 1 develop the handwriting skills expected for their age.
Performance in Maths & Reading: In 2017 and 2018, the proportion of Year 6 pupils reaching expected levels in reading, writing and mathematics exceeded those found nationally.
Support for Falling Behind: Recent developments in teaching have led to disadvantaged pupils and pupils with SEND being included well in mathematics lessons.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils enjoy their learning and lessons proceed calmly and purposefully.
Support for SEND Pupils: Currently, plans on the school’s website for the use of additional funding for disadvantaged pupils do not identify how pupils’ barriers to learning are to be overcome.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: Pupils have confidence that other pupils will be friendly and that, should any bullying occur, it would be dealt with quickly.
Promotion of Welfare and Safety: Leaders are vigilant for pupils' safety and well-being and are well supported by governors who prioritise and monitor this aspect of the school’s work.
Parent Feedback: Almost all parents respond positively about the well-balanced and good quality of care, teaching, and motivating learning opportunities that the school provides.
Parental Involvement: Governors and leaders are seeking to improve communication and response to parents’ concerns.
Teacher Engagement: Middle leaders have used your partnership with a local alliance of schools to provide good staff professional development.
Impact on Student Progress: Effective teaching promotes pupils’ progress, and standards have either been maintained or built upon since the previous inspection.
Teaching Staff Challenges: Recently, the school has experienced some staff absences and changes, but you have now re-established the team of teachers to take the school forward.
Assessment of Teaching Quality: Pupils in key stage 2 have motivating contexts for writing provided by the new topics in the curriculum.

The villages of Brinkworth and Dauntsey are amid the picturesque Wiltshire countryside, where Brinkworth Earl Danby's CE Primary School is situated. It is conveniently located near Lyneham, Chippenham, and Hullavington and is halfway between Royal Wootton Bassett and Malmesbury. We are proud to have recently been rated as 'Good' by Ofsted (December 2018), who recognised that our 'effective teaching promotes pupil progress' in line with our school ethos of 'Believe to Achieve'. Our entire staff collaborates together to foster a fun and loving atmosphere where kids can grow in their unique abilities and become motivated and self-assured young people. Our decisions are always based on Brinkworth Earl Danby's Christian principles and our family's requirements. We promote involvement in a wide range of extracurricular activities, residential outings, sports clubs, music lessons, play therapy, and music therapy, among other things. We are also fortunate to have a kitchen of our own and a skilled catering team that prepares wholesome hot lunches. We are "A compassionate, welcoming, highly professional school that regularly goes the additional mile," according to our parents. Since we work closely with top before- and after-school programmes, wrap-around care is accessible for our parents. Additionally, we enjoy good partnerships with the neighbourhood pre-schools, one of which conducts a weekly session in our institution. We would love to have you as a student at Brinkworth Earl Danby's CE Primary School and currently have openings throughout our school.
