Ofsted: Good · 2024 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Secondary
7.0/10 Above average

8th of 16 secondary schools in Brent we can score. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds and it does better still — 9.5/10 against 511 of them, against 8.2/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about North Brent School

Inspection report dated 30 April 2024

Overview

North Brent School is a secondary academy where pupils are "proud of their school" and feel safe due to supportive staff. The inspection highlights a "highly ambitious" curriculum and "positive" behaviour, with pupils demonstrating high levels of respect and focus. However, the report notes that some pupils, particularly those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), are not receiving the support they are entitled to.

Strengths

  • Pupils exhibit "positive" behaviour, remaining focused and courteous, with "minimal supervision" required.
  • The curriculum is "highly ambitious," fostering confidence and passion for learning, with many pupils achieving well.
  • Personal development is strong, with pupils able to "confidently explain their plans for the future" and engaging in diverse cultural experiences.
  • Staff are "well looked after," and leaders actively respond to workload concerns and attendance issues.
  • The school offers a "full selection of activities," including clubs and awards, to build pupils’ interests.

Areas to improve

  • The school must ensure practices for meeting the needs of pupils with SEND are "securely embedded" and that leaders are held to account for consistent provision.
  • Strategies to support pupils with reading fluency need to be "securely developed," ensuring staff have the expertise to help weaker readers become fluent.

Safeguarding

The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
