Brampton Primary Academy

What Ofsted found

Short inspection, June 2024.

• Overall effectiveness: Brampton Primary Academy continues to be a good school.
• Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.

• Inspectors found pupils' behaviour is excellent across the school, both in lessons and around the building.
• Inspectors found that the learning of pupils with SEND is not always checked sharply enough, so some pupils have gaps in their learning.
• The report says the school must ensure the learning of pupils with SEND is checked precisely so these pupils develop detailed skills, knowledge and understanding.
