Roe Green Infant School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 February 2023

Pupils delight in coming to this school. They said that they enjoy learning something new every day. They understand the importance of getting a good education so that they can succeed in the future. They like making new friends and are kind to one another. Pupils are taught to respect and value everyone, no matter what their differences may be. As a result, pupils behave very well throughout the day. Staff deal quickly to rectify any pupil friendship issues that may arise. This means that the chances of any bullying occurring are low. From the early years upwards, children and pupils form strong trustful relationships with adults. They know that adults will help them deal with any worries they may have and will always try to make sure that they are safe. Leaders and staff share the same high ambitions. Every pupil, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), is included in all aspects of school life. Staff nurture pupils' broader development. They aim to support them to develop strong characteristics in order to become responsible and well-educated citizens. They also create a strong sense of community. For example, parents and carers join in with their children's activities to mark celebrations of different faith groups. Pupils are also involved in collections for a local food bank.

What the school should improve

• Leaders keep all aspects of the school's work under regular review. They have recently introduced changes to the curriculum in a few subjects aimed at deepening pupils' knowledge. These changes are not fully established and, as a result, pupils' grasp of and long-term recall of knowledge is not as full and detailed. Leaders should continue to embed the changes, evaluate their impact and make any necessary tweaks to ensure that pupils can meet their full potential, as intended, across the subjects.
