Rose Green Infant School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 September 2023

Pupils eagerly anticipate coming to this school's nurturing and inspiring environment. As one parent put it: 'Children run in excited to start every school morning and come out happy at the end of each day.' Pupils enjoy the forest school, building shelters, toasting marshmallows, and learning how to use woodworking tools responsibly. Clubs before, after and during the school day add to their enjoyment and make school something they look forward to. Pupils behave well throughout the school. They feel secure, knowing if they post any concerns in the class 'worry monster' boxes, their teachers will help them sort things out quickly. Pupils are taught to be considerate, sharing and taking turns kindly. At social times, they play nicely together, making sure no one is left out. Pupils talk enthusiastically about singing assemblies and school performances, where they showcase their performing talents to parents and carers. The school has high expectations for what pupils can and should achieve. From when they start in the Reception Year, children are encouraged to be responsible, resilient, motivated, independent, and creative. Pupils value their learning, throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the interesting experiences provided by their teachers. They encounter a broad range of subjects and overall attain well.

What the school should improve

• In a few subjects, refinements to what pupils learn and when have only recently been put in place. In these subjects, pupils have not learned as well as they could. The school should ensure that recent improvements to the curriculum ensure that pupils learn consistently well across the whole of the curriculum, closing gaps in their prior knowledge where these exist.
