What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
Burbage Church of England Infant School is a happy, welcoming place. The school's ethos of 'Loving; Living; Learning' is at the heart of school life and interwoven throughout the curriculum. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils. The school is inclusive. Staff are determined that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), receive the support they need to thrive and achieve well. Pupils behave well. They are polite and respectful. Pupils embrace the school's values of 'friendship, truth, compassion, perseverance and respect'. Pupils have confidence in staff to address bullying and behaviour issues. There are several leadership roles that pupils can benefit from taking on. These include being a member of the school council or acting as a sports leader. Pupils take pride in these roles and speak about the skills they learn through participation. Pupils know that they make a positive contribution to the school and wider community. The school offers a range of extra-curricular activities, including sports and music. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school, with a typical comment being: 'The teachers create a lovely, nurturing environment to help the children shine and encourage the right behaviours and values through everything they do.'
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, leaders' work to establish an effective assessment system is in the early stages of implementation. Teachers do not currently use assessments as well as they should to identify gaps in pupils' knowledge. They do not yet consistently use the outcomes of their checks to inform the next steps in learning. Leaders need to develop assessment procedures which ensure that pupils know and remember more, while also taking into consideration the workload of teachers.
