What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Marshchapel Infant School is at the centre of its local community. It has built very special and strong relationships with pupils and its families. Pupils thrive because of the high expectations staff have of them. They want to do their best. Pupils show pride in their work and confidently talk about their learning. Staff know the pupils well and provide precise help. Therefore, pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), get the support that they need to succeed. Pupils enjoy a range of extra-curricular opportunities. These include theatre visits, visiting a fishing trawler and shopping at a local store. Alongside regular after-school activities, developing positive character traits is an important part of the school's work. As a result, the school develops pupils' character and confidence well. This is evident in how pupils behave and work together. Pupils are very proud of their school and describe it as a 'place with special friends'. Pupils play well together and enjoy their social time. Pupils are respectful to each other and adults alike. They all say that they feel safe and have a trusted adult that they can talk to if they have a worry. Behaviour across the school is excellent.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the learning activities do not support pupils in achieving the curriculum intentions. When this happens, pupils do not acquire some important knowledge. The school should ensure that activities support pupils more effectively in learning what they need to know. This is so they can achieve as well as they can.
