What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Pupils flourish in the safe, nurturing environment of this aspirational school. Staff know pupils well and have their best interests at heart. Young children settle quickly. They thrive in the school's vibrant nursery thanks to the high level of care provided by staff. Pupils like spending time with each other. They play happily together and say making friends is easy at Selston. 'Playground pals' are on hand at breaktimes to check that everyone is okay. Pupils behave well. They try hard and listen attentively most of the time. The school's vision is to 'open hearts and minds'. To this end, pupils experience a range of enrichment activities designed to broaden their horizons. In daily assemblies, pupils come to understand the school's values of love, service, forgiveness, truth and endurance. For example, pupils know that service is about treating everyone with kindness. Developing pupils' independence is a key aim in all classes. Staff empower pupils to do things for themselves. Pupils enjoy independent learning and take pride in completing tasks on their own. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school, especially the new nursery provision for two-year-olds. They praise the family feel that has been created at Selston.
What the school should improve
- At times, pupils do not learn more demanding curriculum content when they are ready for it. As a result, some pupils do not progress through the school's ambitious curriculum as well as they could. The school should ensure that all learning is well matched to pupils' age and stage of development.
