What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 June 2022
Pupils' love of learning stands out as the key feature of this school. Every member of staff facilitates pupils' natural eagerness to find out about the world and their place in it. Pupils do very well, right from the start, at Olney Infant Academy. Leaders represent the school's core values with the word 'CURIOUS', ('courage, unique, respect, independence, open minds, understanding and supportive'), and they are embedded into pupils' experiences. During their time at the school, pupils develop into articulate, caring and self-confident learners. Pupils work and play happily together. Their behaviour is exemplary. Should a rare occurrence of unkindness occur, they are confident that their teachers will sort it out. This harmonious community is calm and purposeful. Staff have consistently high expectations of pupils. Teaching staff are united in their aim to make sure there is no cap on pupils' achievements. All staff provide hearty praise for every pupil's success, so pupils are encouraged to do more. The vast majority of parents are highly delighted with what Olney Infant Academy offers their children. A typical comment from a parent was, 'Olney Infants has created a curriculum that inspires our daughter to learn, explore and grow.'
