Churchfields Infants' School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 July 2024

The school offers a curriculum and ethos which focus on how best to support young children to learn, play, and develop. All staff work to foster pupils' love of learning. This is summed up in the school's motto of, 'Growing Together: Every Day in Every Way.' The school has very high expectations. These aspirations are realised. Staff work to ensure that pupils achieve the best that they can. The school prioritises ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have the English skills to communicate effectively. The school sees this as fundamental to pupils' future academic success and enjoyment of learning. Pupils' high standard of writing reflects how well the excellent quality of the curriculum and school routines enable them to express themselves. Pupils play and learn happily together. Their behaviour is exemplary. Pupils know that they can rely on their trusted adults to sort things out if there are ever any 'falling outs'. The school feels calm and learning is purposeful. Staff want pupils to develop their independence and curiosity. An example of this is in science, where pupils are encouraged to tackle tasks independently, applying the knowledge that has been taught. Leaders have clear routines to engage with parents and carers, and have built positive relationships. Because of this, the vast majority of parents are extremely happy with how the school supports their children.
