Protecting Our Pupils Online

As part of our ongoing commitment to safeguarding, Brownlow Fold Primary School has reviewed the use of pupil photographs on our website.

In line with current safeguarding guidance and best practice, we have removed identifiable images of children from public-facing areas of the website. This helps to protect pupils’ privacy while ensuring we continue to celebrate school life in a safe and responsible way.

Thank you for your support as we continue to place the safety and wellbeing of our children at the heart of everything we do.

School Performance

Our primary school’s performance and Ofsted reports are publicly available at the following link.

Below is a link to our recent OFSTED inspection which celebrates the many strengths of our school.

We were one of the very first schools in the country to be inspected under the renewed and more thorough OFSTED framework. We are extremely pleased that, based on the evidence gathered, inspectors judged all areas to be meeting the expected standard. This means that our school is fulfilling the expected standard of education. This means we are following the standard set out in statutory and non‑statutory legislation and the professional standards expected. We are particularly pleased that the inspection recognises the strength of our systems and the care we provide for every child. We are very proud of our pupils, staff and wider community, and we thank you for your continued support.

If you would like to understand more about OFSTED’s new report cards and grading system, you can view a short explanation here:
