Ofsted

Please find below our most recent Ofsted reports and relevant information from the Department for Education Performance Tables. 

We are delighted that the inspection team captured exactly what it is like to be a child here at Brightwalton - the first paragraph really reflects our school,

'Children are happy and confident at Brightwalton. They love to learn. Leaders and staff

are building pupils’ resilience and confidence successfully. Pupils feel well cared for.

As one child said, ‘There’s always a happy spirit going around.’

The team found very strong evidence of the many strengths of the school, which mean so much to us and on which we work so hard. We are rightly proud of our children's achievement, behaviour and personal development, which are nurtured by our dedicated team of staff and governors.

Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS)

As we are also a church school (not a faith school), we are linked to the Oxford Diocese and are subject to inspection by SIAMS (Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools).

SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the school's Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school’s Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish. 

Please see our latest inspection report below.

Performance Data

Many parents are keen to see how we are performing in relation to other schools.

​The Department for Education (DfE) Performance Tables provide a reliable and accessible source of comparative information on pupil attainment and progress, absence, workforce and finance.

The Performance Tables tell you about performance of pupils at this school at key stage 2 (school years 3 to 6), which are the last four years of the primary phase of education. These scores show how much progress pupils at this school made in reading, writing and maths between the end of key stage 1 and the end of key stage 2, compared to pupils across England who got similar results at the end of key stage 1.
