What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
Glendale Infants is a welcoming school where everyone cares for each other. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive and nurturing. Playtimes are lively and friendly. Pupils enjoy attending school. Staff have high expectations for pupils' learning. Both staff and pupils model the school's motto of 'be the best you can be'. Pupils achieve well and make progress through the curriculum. The 'captain values' help pupils to understand what leaders expect of them. Even the youngest children can explain how values such as perseverance and collaboration help them to be better learners. Pupils behave very well. They work hard in lessons. This means they can concentrate and learn effectively in class. Pupils say they like the idea of 'making their brains grow.' Pupils trust staff and know how they can share a worry by speaking to an adult or using the worry boxes. Adults listen to the pupils and know them well. This makes pupils feel safe. Pupils enjoy trips that support their learning. They visit castles to learn about what it was like to be a knight, and zoos to get first-hand experience of the animals they learn about. Leaders provide opportunities for pupils to develop interests such as scooter club and trampolining club.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not identified the precise vocabulary they want pupils to learn. This means that teachers do not have all the information they need to ensure that vocabulary builds and develops in a planned way over time, and between year groups. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum contains well sequenced information about the subject specific vocabulary they want pupils to know and remember.
