What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 February 2023
'A fun and happy place to learn' is how one pupil describes Field Court Church of England Infant Academy. Other pupils echo this view. The school vision of 'love life, embrace learning and believe together' threads its way through all aspects of school life. Staff are ambitious. They believe that success is possible for all. This helps pupils get off to a great start in their education. Leaders have created a caring school based on Christian values. Pupils know why it is important to tell the truth and be courageous when trying something new. Children develop positive learning habits as soon as they begin school. They like how staff encourage them to be a 'bounce-back bunny' and 'positive parrot' when they find things difficult. Pupils try hard to follow the school rules. They enjoy earning 'golden coins' for doing the right thing. Most pupils rarely need reminding about how to behave. If disruption does occur, staff stop this quickly. Pupils say that adults sort out any problems or friendship issues they have. This helps them feel safe. Pupils take part in a range of clubs. These include country dancing, ocarina and construction. Pupils say, 'There is always something interesting to do.'
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, a small number of staff do not follow the agreed approach to the delivery of the school's phonics programme. As a result, this slows down some pupils' ability to develop their reading accuracy and confidence. Leaders should continue to ensure that all staff follow the school's approach to the teaching of phonics.
- In a few subjects, there is variation in how well teachers implement the agreed curriculum. This means that some pupils do not master important knowledge and skills as well as they could. Leaders should ensure greater consistency in the delivery of subjects so that pupils secure important knowledge and skills across all year groups, including in the early years.
