Kingmoor Nursery and Infant School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 March 2023

Pupils are very happy at Kingmoor Nursery and Infant School. They arrive each day ready to learn and excited to see their friends and teachers. Staff have forged positive relationships with pupils and families. They ensure that pupils have time and space to talk about how they feel and to share any worries that they may have. Leaders deal quickly and effectively with pupils' concerns, including about bullying. This helps pupils to feel safe. Leaders' and governors' values of 'loving learning, enjoying, discovering, growing together' are evident throughout the school. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils, including children in the early years, rise to these high expectations. They behave very well and are committed to learning. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve exceptionally well. Pupils are highly engaged with the local community. They have worked closely with the housing estate resident's association and have met with a councillor to share their ideas of how to improve the local area. Pupils have been proactive in raising awareness of issues such as dog fouling, speeding, parking and recycling. Pupils are considerate of the needs of local people. They have sung to stroke patients in the local community centre, written letters to elderly neighbours and distributed gifts around the local housing estate. These different experiences help pupils to become responsible and empathetic citizens.
