Gomer Infant School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 November 2024

Pupils rush into school each morning. They are eager to see the staff and there is a mutual excitement about the day to come. Pupils are positive about their peers and the opportunities they have. These positive attitudes to school mean that pupils attend well and are rarely late. Pupils relate to and are fluent in the school's values. They readily explain how the 'values aliens' help them with everyday situations. Pupils expect to achieve well. They have confidence in their abilities and enjoy their learning. The school expectations are well defined and are usually followed closely by staff. Consequently, pupils generally achieve well. Pupils love studying the local area. For instance, their debates about where Lord Nelson's column should be positioned are passionate and well informed. Pupils behave well. They are confident that peers are kind and that adults will resolve any worries they may have. Pupils see that the school goes to great lengths to support their well-being and happiness. They appreciate the 'comfort corners' and find the 'colour monster' posters useful. As a result, they feel safe and manage their feelings effectively.

What the school should improve

• In some instances, the teaching that pupils receive does not consistently reflect the planned curriculum precisely. This means, on occasion, not all pupils learn as well as they could. The school must ensure that the planned curriculum content is taught consistently and accurately by all staff.
