Pupils strive to meet these expectations. They work hard and enjoy their learning. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and nurturing. Pupils feel safe and know that they can share any concerns they may have with any adult in school. Staff deal with any worries quickly. Pupils behave very well. They know and understand the school's values of kindness, pride, collaboration, respect and motivation. They are guided by them.

For example, pupils exhibited plants for a community allotment at the Royal Horticultural Society Hampton Court Festival and attended the Henley Literary Festival. They also enjoy the after-school activities run by staff such as football, choir and construction club. Leaders have created a harmonious 'family feel' where everyone feels respected and supported. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Typical comments include, 'Bagshot Infant School is an amazing school that lives and breathes being kind, caring and compassionate to all of the children, regardless of background or ability.'

What the school should improve

• In some foundation subjects, the school's work to establish an effective approach to assessment is in the early stages of implementation. In these subjects, teachers do not use assessment information as well as they should to inform the next steps in pupils' learning. This hinders pupils' progress. The school needs to develop effective ways of using assessment information across the curriculum to help pupils learn and remember more.
