What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 March 2023
Pupils, including children in the early years, flourish at Eagley Infant School. They feel happy and safe. Leaders, trustees and staff are united in their ambition to give all pupils the best start to their education, academically and socially. Most pupils arrive at school keen to learn and ready to embrace all that the day has to offer. Pupils generally behave well in the classroom and around the school. They share warm relationships with staff. Pupils understand that adults will support them if they are anxious or worried. If bullying occurs, leaders and staff soon make it stop. Pupils make friends because they care about each other. At breaktimes, they play happily with their peers in the playground. Pupils learn to become good citizens. They particularly enjoy the responsibilities that they have been given. These include looking after the wonderful range of animals that live at the school. Pupils talked avidly about the pony named Chewy and the goat called Luna. They learn about different faiths and cultures and raise money for charitable causes. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), live up to the high expectations that staff have for them. They access a curriculum that is well- thought-out, ambitious and fun. By the end of the academic year, Year 2 pupils are well prepared for their transition to junior school.
What the school should improve
- Some staff are new to subject leadership and do not have the confidence or expertise to lead their areas of responsibility effectively. This means that they are less able to check how well the curriculum is being implemented or how effectively pupils are remembering their learning. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders are supported to lead their curriculum areas effectively.
- Some curriculums are relatively new. They are in the very early stages of being implemented. Teachers are less sure about what to teach in these subjects. This hinders pupils' progress. Leaders should ensure that staff receive the support that they need to deliver the new curriculums well.
