School Description

The school does not comply with DfE guidance on what academies should publish about admission arrangements, examination and assessment results, the school curriculum, information on pupil premium funding, information on physical education (PE) and sports funding, how parents request paper copies of information available on the website, or governor information. Since becoming an academy in January 2014, there has been significant turbulence at the school. The initial academy sponsor left in May 2015. Wakefield City Academies Trust (WCAT) were then asked by the regional schools commissioner to take over the school. WCAT put in a temporary headteacher from May 2015 until November 2015, when the position was made permanent. WCAT officially took over the school from August 2015. A significant number of teachers and support staff left the school in July 2015 and some throughout 2016, adding to high levels of staff absence. Leaders are still struggling to recruit a full complement of high-quality teachers and secure middle Inspection report: Brookfield Primary Academy, 20–21 September 2016 Page 9 of 12 leadership positions. This has had a significant impact on the school’s capacity to improve. The school is around the average size for a primary school and serves an area of high deprivation. The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for pupil premium funding is above that seen in most schools. The majority of pupils are from a White British background. The proportion of pupils with identified special educational needs is below that seen nationally.
