Rosegrove Infant School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 March 2024

Pupils are proud to attend this warm and friendly school. They enjoy strong relationships with nurturing staff. Staff work in partnership with parents and carers to ensure that pupils are happy and enjoy their learning. Parents and carers, who shared their view with inspectors, are highly positive about the school. Pupils are supported to understand and follow the school's values and expectations. For example, the school's 'branches of responsibility' help pupils to understand the importance of developing their independence skills. Pupils behave well. They are kind to each other and are keen to help other pupils. For instance, they proudly undertake their roles as 'well-being wizards' in the playground. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Their learning is enriched with experiences throughout the curriculum. For example, pupils visit the local cotton mills as part of their learning in history. They also take part in music and dance workshops led by professionals who visit the school. Pupils, including children in the early years, learn and achieve well. Pupils are taught about how they can contribute to the school and to the local community. They spoke enthusiastically about their achievements as school councillors and eco warriors, including raising money for charities.

What the school should improve

• In a small number of subjects, the school's use of assessment information to identify what pupils know and remember is not as effective as it could be. As a result, some pupils do not build on their knowledge in these subjects over time. The school should ensure that, in these curriculums, assessment strategies are effective in checking that pupils understand key knowledge securely in the longer term.
