Birkby Infant and Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2025

Pupils achieve well at Birkby Infant and Nursery School. Many children join the school in the Nursery class, but a significant amount also join in other year groups. Whenever pupils join, they are given a warm welcome and quickly assessed to see what they can and cannot do. Children quickly grasp the important English and mathematics skills that they need. The school has very high expectations of what pupils can do. For example, children in Reception learn how to pin on badges and are then expected to do this every day. Pupils are encouraged to work independently. They also work well in groups and use equipment successfully. Pupils focus on producing high-quality work because they want to do their best. Children in the early years quickly learn routines. They use their environment remarkably well and practise important skills such as cutting paper and naming items of clothing. Pupils behave exceptionally well throughout the day. They have strong relationships with staff, and this helps them to feel safe. Children in Nursery learn important personal skills, such as how to communicate how they are feeling. They develop this further throughout school so that they can talk with real maturity for their age by Year 2.
