What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
There is a real sense of family at Kiveton Park Infant School. Leaders have established an influential vision: 'Hand in hand we learn.' This vision inspires staff to be ambitious for pupils' learning and development. Teachers successfully remove any barriers to learning that pupils might encounter. Together, staff have created a truly inclusive culture. Pupils are happy and safe in this caring school. Adults help pupils to manage their own feelings and behaviour well. Breaktimes and lunchtimes are harmonious. This is because adults teach pupils how to treat each other with kindness and respect. Occasionally, expectations about how pupils should behave in lessons are not applied consistently. At these times, some pupils struggle to concentrate on their work. Bullying almost never happens. When it does, staff intervene to make sure it stops. Leaders provide pupils with many exciting opportunities to learn about the world around them. For example, pupils learn about different careers, such as medicine and architecture. They also build their debating skills by learning how to take turns and present an argument. Leaders make sure that pupils and families understand why attending school is important. Staff provide support to help pupils attend every day. This is making a positive difference for pupils.
What the school should improve
- Some staff are not clear enough about their expectations of how pupils should behave in lessons. This can lead to some pupils occasionally talking over the teacher or not completely focusing on their work. Leaders should ensure that behaviour expectations are consistently applied.
- Leaders are in the early stages of implementing some aspects of the curriculum. This means that leaders' ambitious curriculum plans are not always realised in pupils' lessons. Leaders should make sure that staff receive the right training to implement all aspects of the curriculum effectively.
