What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 January 2026
Staff go above and beyond for the children and families at Race Leys Infant school. Pupils are happy, and they benefit from positive relationships with warm and caring staff. There is a calm and purposeful environment in classrooms and around the school. This begins in the early years, where children quickly learn and follow daily routines. Pupils and staff are happy to be part of such a special place. Learning together, they know that they can reach for the stars. All pupils thrive in the school's highly inclusive culture. Staff know pupils and families very well. They recognise the school's importance at the centre of the community. Many pupils attend well. The relationships that exist between staff, pupils and families are positive, and pupils have their strengths recognised. One parent's comment captured this well, ‘Teachers put the children at the heart of everything they do.’ Pupils learn a broad and rich curriculum. Those pupils who need it get the right support. This ensures that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities and those who are disadvantaged, learn successfully. As a result, pupils are well prepared for their next steps. The school’s ambition for pupils is not limited to the classroom. There is a wide range of activities, experiences and enrichment that pupils take advantage of. They enjoy the wealth of opportunities that leaders have created for them. Pupils play an important part in creating a school where everyone is celebrated and valued. The school provides opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility, for example acting as members of the school council and eco warriors. These experiences have a lasting impact on pupils.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that independent learning activities and adult support are consistently and carefully matched to pupils’ needs to maintain engagement and reduce off-task behaviour. • Leaders should ensure that regular checks on learning are used effectively to ensure that pupils are able to remember key learning and subject-specific vocabulary.
