Braithwaite CofE Primary School is performing well overall, with a good quality of education and outstanding personal development. The school is characterized by a small, friendly atmosphere where pupils feel safe and secure. Notably, the curriculum is ambitious and well-organized, allowing all students, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), to engage effectively. However, there are a few subjects where the guidance for staff on delivering key knowledge is less developed, which can impact pupils' ability to recall their learning consistently.
