Lowe's Wong Infant School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 March 2026

Lowe’s Wong Infant School lives up to its vision for everyone to ‘learn happily together’. Pupils arrive at school with smiles on their faces each morning. They attend school regularly and say they enjoy having great fun while they learn. The school is a very welcoming and friendly community, where all pupils develop a firm sense of belonging. Pupils benefit from caring staff knowing them well and providing the right support when they need it. Pupils value the support they receive for any additional needs they may have and the help provided to overcome barriers to their learning or wellbeing. For instance, pupils are proud to have learned actions to accompany words, so everyone can participate in assembly songs. Pupils recognise that everyone knows and follows leaders' carefully chosen rules. Across the school, pupils behave well. They have positive attitudes towards their learning. Staff support pupils promptly if they need reminding about their high expectations. Pupils feel secure because staff swiftly deal with any rare occasions of bullying or unkindness. Playtimes are fun and active. Pupils form good friendships. They know that if they feel lonely, sitting on the 'friendship bench' will alert members of the school council so that they can step in. Staff encourage pupils to be helpful, positive citizens in their local community. Pupils get off to a positive start with their education and go on to achieve well overall. They speak with great enthusiasm and detail about their learning of the ambitious and carefully designed curriculum. The school prepares pupils well for junior school and supports them effectively with this transition. The school provides a breadth of enriching experiences to support pupils' learning and wider development. Extra-curricular clubs are well matched to pupils' interests, from learning Spanish, to country dancing and being a footballing ‘lioness’.

What the school should improve

• Leaders should ensure staff use assessment information and their knowledge of pupils’ needs consistently well to adapt their teaching and design suitable learning activities, enabling pupils to develop secure knowledge and skills across the curriculum.
• Leaders should ensure that staff consistently address gaps in pupils' handwriting and number formation with precision so that errors and inaccuracies do not persist.
