Lee Brigg Infant and Nursery School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 March 2026

Pupils at Lee Brigg Nursery and Infant School learn in a warm, inclusive and ambitious environment. They feel safe, happy and are eager to take part in school life, attending school regularly. Staff establish calm and consistent routines from the start. This helps children grow in confidence and independence. Classrooms and early years spaces are purposeful. Pupils enjoy learning because adults explain ideas clearly, ask thoughtful questions and make learning fun. Adults model kindness and respect. Pupils follow their example. They behave extremely well and treat each other with care and fairness. Bullying is rare. If concerns do arise, staff act quickly and consistently. A tangible sense of belonging is clear throughout the school. Staff know pupils well. They build trusting relationships that help every pupil to feel valued. Celebrating and including everyone is central to daily practice. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities receive personalised support in lessons and in spaces such as the 'cloud room'. Clear timetables and structured routines help them to feel settled and ready to learn. Staff set ambitious expectations for every pupil. Teachers skilfully adapt lessons so that pupils access a broad and coherent curriculum. Securing pupils' skills in phonics (letters and the sounds that they represent), early writing and number are central to the school’s curriculum. Adults address misconceptions straight away. Pupils’ work demonstrates pride and growing independence. Pupils thrive as a result of the school’s extensive personal development programme. Through the curriculum, assemblies and their 'skills for life' experiences, pupils learn how to stay healthy, manage their emotions and understand how fairness and equality is protected by law. Clubs, trips, leadership roles and community projects build pupils' confidence and social responsibility. They feel included and inspired in a caring school community. Pupils achieve well and grow as confident young learners during their time at the school.

What the school should improve

• Leaders should continue to strengthen the assessment and monitoring systems used so that they precisely identify need, track impact and ensure that disadvantaged pupils consistently thrive, make strong progress and achieve the highest possible outcomes across the curriculum.
