Ofsted praised Brierley Primary School, saying: "This school is at the heart of the community.

"Pupils, including children in the early years, know that they are part of the Brierley family.

"They said that everyone cares about each other. This helps them to feel valued, happy and safe."

Ofsted were impressed with Brierley Primary School staff - believing they were all committed to pupils' success.

The report said: "Leaders have high expectations for all pupils. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well.

"The care and support that staff provide for children in the early years helps them to settle into school quickly.

"Children enjoy joining in with the interesting activities that staff plan for them."

Ofsted were also impressed with Brierley Primary School's approach towards bullying.

The report said: "Teachers have clear and high expectations for pupils' and children's behaviour.

"Pupils and children behave well. They are well-mannered and respectful.

"Poor behaviour seldom disrupts their learning.

"Pupils play happily with each other during breaktimes and lunchtimes.

"Leaders do not tolerate any forms of bullying. Pupils are confident that, when it happens, staff will deal with bullying quickly and effectively."

Ofsted believes Brierley Primary School pupils are 'prepared well' for high school and teachers have a 'strong knowledge' of the subjects they deliver.

The inspectors believed the Crewe school has some room for improvement - in terms of ways to improve learning.

The report added: "Until recently, in a small number of subjects, pupils have not had sufficient opportunities to revisit and recall earlier learning.

"This means that, from time to time, pupils are hindered in building securely on what they have learned already."

Brierley Primary School received an Ofsted grade of 'Good' at its previous inspection in 2013 (Brierley Primary School).

Ofsted also believed some teachers 'new to their role' lacked the confidence and support to deliver some aspects of curriculums well.
