Church Gresley Infant and Nursery School places itself at the heart of its community. Pupils, and children in the early years, are happy and safe in this welcoming school. They know and understand the importance of the school's values. Pupils learn the importance of respecting others. The school ensures that pupils reflect on the 'diamond rules'. The school sets high expectations of behaviour. Pupils make good behaviour choices. They play happily together at playtimes. The school enables pupils to become independent and respectful. The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve and flourish. Pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is a key priority. Staff enrich the curriculum with additional musical activities, for example with glockenspiel and recorder clubs. Pupils enjoy and value the opportunities available to develop their creativity and confidence. Reading is a high priority at this school. The school knows the importance of reading stories to pupils every day. Pupils develop a love of reading. They like visiting the library in school and down the road. They talk knowledgeably about the books they enjoy reading and how these help them 'learn more about the world'.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that all the curriculum is implemented as effectively as it could be. This means that some pupils do not always learn in a way that helps them to know, understand and do more of the planned curriculum. The school should ensure that the curriculum is delivered in a way that enables all pupils to know, remember and do more over time.
