What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils eagerly anticipate coming to this school. Sights are set high for pupils, and they achieve well. They get a great start to their education in the Nursery, where adults skilfully teach the curriculum with children's interests in mind. Children quickly develop a thirst for learning, fascinated by the captivating lessons and wider experiences their teachers plan for them. They visit art galleries and museums and are inspired to find out more about great artists and scientists. Pupils are taught how to recognise their emotions and ways of staying calm such as listening to music, peer massage or controlling their breathing. They know they can trust adults to help them by talking openly about feelings of anger or sadness. As a result, pupils live up to the school's high expectations for behaviour and have excellent attitudes to their learning. Right from the Nursery, children sustain long periods of concentration as they explore and practise new concepts. As one parent put it: 'Earlswood Infant and Nursery School is a wonderful, nurturing environment where children feel welcome and enjoy learning. It encourages them to be more independent and to work well with others.'
What the school should improve
- In some areas of the curriculum, the most important knowledge that pupils need to know is not yet fully defined. As a result, pupils' learning does not always build as securely as it could. The school should continue to refine these areas of the curriculum, so adults focus on the most important learning during teaching, assessment, feedback and retrieval practice.
- In some lessons, adults do not always check pupils' understanding systematically to help them use knowledge fluently and develop their understanding. This means that some pupils have gaps in their learning which are not addressed quickly enough. The school should continue to support adults in using assessment consistently well to inform future teaching so that pupils learn the school's ambitious curriculum successfully.
