The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. The school became part of the Stour Federation Partnership in September 2015. It is partnered with two local primary schools, Shipston-on-Stour and Acorns primary schools. You are executive headteacher of the three schools and you are well supported by an associate headteacher in each school. You have formed a strong and effective alliance between each school. This has significantly enhanced the professional development of staff at Brailes and extended the range of opportunities offered to pupils. For example, pupils now take part in more inter-school sports tournaments and music events. A nursery has been added to improve early years education, and a breakfast club provides a valuable resource for parents and carers and their children. These initiatives, driven formidably by governors, have successfully helped reduce the budget deficit, increase pupil numbers and aid the sustainability and success of the school. You ensure that the Christian ethos of the school underpins pupils‟ respect and tolerance for staff and for their peers. Pupils are polite, courteous and well behaved. They mix happily with pupils from other year groups and few seem troubled by the age gap between themselves and other pupils in their mixed-age classes. Goodquality care and nurture are the order of the day. Staff have a detailed understanding of individual pupils‟ needs, and relationships between staff and pupils are positive. As a result, pupils are happy, settled and achieve well.
