What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 September 2023

Kingsfield First School is a happy school with a family feel. Both parents and pupils talk very highly of the school. Pupils enter for the day with a smile on their faces. Staff get to know every pupil and take into account their individual needs. As a result of this, pupils enjoy school and achieve well. The school is a place where pupils cooperate with each other and value both their similarities and their differences. Pupils say that they are happy at school and that they feel safe. They know that there is a difference between bullying and 'falling out' and trust adults to quickly sort out any issues. This is an inclusive school where pupils' well-being is a high priority. Staff take the time to find out pupils' likes and dislikes and pupils appreciate this. The recent additions of Ozzy and Elvis, the school guinea pigs, are causing a real buzz around the school as eager pupils get the chance to help with their care. Pupils enjoy making a positive contribution to school life. There are many opportunities for them to do so. Pupils can become eco-warriors, sports champions or e-safety stars.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, the curriculum contains too much important knowledge for pupils to learn. As a result, pupils may not always know and remember the intended learning in these subjects. The school should ensure that the important knowledge it wants pupils to learn is clear in all subjects.
