What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 May 2024
There are high expectations at Scawsby Saltersgate Infant School and pupils rise to these expectations. Pupils achieve well in reading and mathematics but do not achieve as well as they should in some other curriculum subjects. The behaviour policy is child friendly, and all pupils understand the 'golden rules'. Most pupils behave well consistently. For the very small proportion of pupils who struggle with self-regulating their behaviour, the school is creative in finding ways that help individual pupils calm down. Pupils feel safe. They are happy that their older siblings at the junior school are welcome to come and join them at breakfast club. Many parents are ex-pupils themselves, and this adds to the 'family-feel' of a school that is at the heart of the community. There are lots of opportunities to develop pupils' talents and wider interests. The school makes reasonable adjustments so that all pupils can participate fully in residential and other educational visits. The school makes the most of the local community to enrich the curriculum. When pupils learned about the religious ceremony of welcoming someone into the Christian church, in religious education, the vicar re-enacted a baptism. Pupils enjoyed pretending to be proud pupil 'parents' and 'godparents' cradling their doll in the local church. Such vivid experiences help to bring learning to life.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils in key stage 1 are not developing detailed knowledge and skills in some curriculum subjects. The work set for pupils in these subjects does not enable pupils to achieve as well as they should. Leaders should review their pedagogical approach to curriculum implementation so that all pupils have greater opportunities to achieve the school's ambitious curriculum intent.
