Ormesby Village Infant School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 December 2022

Pupils love their school because they enjoy learning. They say teachers are kind and make learning fun. Leaders have high expectations for what pupils can achieve in their learning and development. Pupils achieve well in all the subjects they study. They make a strong contribution to the running of the school, for example through the pupil safety committee. Parents are overwhelmingly positive. They are rightly pleased with how quickly their children learn to read and how well they are cared for. Classrooms are calm and purposeful places for learning. Behaviour is typically good in lessons, around the school and on the playground. There is no bullying, and 'playground pals', as well as adults, help pupils to play well together. Pupils are safe at school. They are confident to talk to an adult if they are worried about anything. Pupils take an active part in class and school council, often raising money for charity. Infant leaders pick a project every year to help their local community to improve. This year they took part in a beach clean. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage in their education and life in modern Britain.

What the school should improve

• Some staff do not have up-to-date, detailed knowledge of how to support pupils with specific SEND. This means that changes and adaptations to the curriculum and provision are not always tailored as precisely as they might be. Leaders should ensure that new staff have up-to-date, detailed training to enable them to meet the specific needs of the pupils they work with.
