What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 March 2022

Pupils at Robert Miles Infant School live out the school's motto, 'work hard, be kind'. They enjoy coming to school. Pupils say that they have lots of friends and that their teachers care about them and keep them safe. Pupils say that bullying is not a problem in this school. They know that staff will quickly help them to sort out any problems that occur. Every pupil in school is well known by staff. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. Pupils understand how important it is to look out for each other. At lunchtime, older pupils act as lunchtime play leaders. They organise games for younger pupils and help them, even with little things like zipping their coats up. Relationships between pupils and adults are positive. In lessons, pupils listen carefully to their teachers and their peers. They are keen to get things right. Pupils learn to do the best they can, right from the early years. Pupils are excited about the trips that are beginning again as life in school gets back to normal. For example, pupils in the early years had a visit from the police and pupils in Year 2 were looking forward to their upcoming visit to a farm.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders have improved curriculum plans in most subjects. The revised plans are new and not yet fully established across the school. Leaders need to ensure that all subject plans are equally ambitious and implemented effectively, particularly in the foundation subjects, so that pupils can successfully build their knowledge over time.
  • Leaders' systems for checking how well pupils know and remember what is taught is not consistently well developed in some foundation subjects and science. This means that gaps in pupils' knowledge are not always identified early enough or addressed quickly. As a result, some pupils do not do as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that teachers consistently check pupils are secure in their understanding before moving learning on in all subjects.
