Kingsway Infants' School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 January 2023

This is a happy and welcoming school. Pupils benefit from positive relationships with caring staff. These relationships help pupils, and children in the early years, to feel happy and safe. Leaders and teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. This results in pupils doing well and producing high-quality work. Pupils become independent, confident learners at Kingsway Infants' School. Pupils make a positive contribution to the life of the school. They are proud to take on responsibilities such as eco-warriors and school councillors. Pupils have very positive attitudes to learning and work with one another very well. They enjoy lessons and talk positively about their work. Behaviour is good in lessons and at other times around school. Pupils treat one another with kindness and respect. Pupils feel safe at school. Bullying is rare. Pupils are confident that staff will listen to their worries and step in quickly to deal with any problems that may arise. Parents speak highly of the school. One parent summed up the views of many by saying, 'This school is a warm and welcoming environment where children are treated respectfully and fairly.'

What the school should improve

• In a small number of subjects, leaders have not checked that the curriculum is being implemented as leaders intend. This means that leaders are not clear about the impact of the curriculum in these subjects on pupils' learning and achievement. Leaders should ensure through their monitoring and review that they check how well pupils achieve across the full range of subjects that pupils study so they are confident that the curriculum is fully meeting pupils' needs.
