What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Field Lane Junior Infant and Nursery School is a place where pupils feel welcome and valued. Staff warmly greet pupils and their families every morning. Pupils trust staff to help them with any worries they may have. This makes pupils feel safe and supported. Leaders expect pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to try their best. Pupils work hard to meet these expectations. As a result, pupils achieve well in most areas of the curriculum. In the classroom and throughout the school, pupils behave well. During breaktimes and lunchtimes, they enjoy spending time with friends. They get along well with each other. Pupils treat each other and staff with high levels of respect. Any bullying incidents are effectively addressed by the staff. School leaders nurture strong relationships with the broader school community. Parents and carers appreciate the opportunities provided by leaders to visit the school and learn how to support their children at home. Many pupils access a range of activities that broaden their experience and increase their self-confidence. The gardening club is particularly popular. In this club, pupils take care of community vegetable plots. They take pride in their contribution to the local area.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not mapped out the specific knowledge they want pupils to learn. This hinders pupils from learning all that they should. The school should take further action to support teachers to teach important knowledge and skills and to check that this has happened.
- In some areas, the early years curriculum does not map out with sufficient clarity the knowledge and skills that children will need to learn in order to support some aspects of their future learning at key stage one. Leaders should enhance the early years curriculum so that it is further aligned to what children need to know to support their future learning.
