What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
Pupils at Bidbury Infant School demonstrate the values of resilience, respect, self- regulation and independence. They love the characters connected to each value. These values drive decision-making in all areas of the school. Pupils benefit from the school's high ambitions and expectations. Pupils enjoy learning new things and ask thoughtful questions about what they are being taught. As a result, pupils achieve well. The school is a happy place to be. Pupils enjoy attending and are eager to learn. They have warm, mutually respectful relationships with everyone in the school. Staff help pupils to recognise their emotions so they can manage them well. Pupils are considerate and calm. A sense of kindness and care permeates the school. Social times are harmonious because pupils take care of each other and their environment. They enjoy playtimes and help each other to use the equipment provided for them. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities that develop their understanding of the world around them. For example, they take part in cultural dance classes and learn the African drums. Pupils work together to raise money for charities. This helps them to think about others so they can develop empathy.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, where the curriculum is new, assessment does not support pupils' learning sufficiently well. This means that pupils have had gaps in their learning that have not been identified or addressed swiftly enough. The school should support staff to routinely check pupils' understanding of the key content and then use this information to inform future teaching so that gaps in learning are closed.
- In some subjects, learning is not adapted well enough to meet pupils' specific needs. This means these pupils are not achieving as well as they could in these subjects. The school needs to ensure that teachers further develop their teaching strategies in these subjects so pupils with SEND get the support they need to succeed.
