From the inspection on 23 April 2025

Holy Trinity CofE Infant School is a joyful, nurturing school. The school's vision, 'Together we grow to be the best that God created us to be,' is lived out by both staff and pupils. Pupils are very happy and feel safe. They describe the school as, 'a school where everyone cares about you'. They know they can talk to any adult about anything that is worrying them and that adults will support them. Pupils feel a real sense of belonging. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm. The school is ambitious and has high expectations of all pupils. Pupils, including 'early learners' and the Reception Year, consistently follow the school's 'Rainbow Rules'. They all show an eagerness to do their very best. They show pride in their personal achievements and the achievements of others. Pupils demonstrate mature attitudes to their learning. They achieve well. Children's achievement in the early years is exceptional. Pupils access a wealth of additional opportunities. These include attending an extensive range of clubs, carefully planned trips and being actively involved in their local community. 'Connections' provides pupils with an intergenerational experience with nearby elderly residents. The school's work to support a school in Uganda is something that pupils are particularly proud of.

What the school should improve

• In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not identify clearly enough the important knowledge that pupils should learn. As a result, teachers are not always sure what knowledge they should be checking pupils are remembering to help pupils build their knowledge over time. The school should ensure that the curriculum makes clear to teachers what the important knowledge is that pupils should embed into their long- term memory. The school should ensure that teachers accurately check whether pupils have acquired it.
