From the inspection on 11 October 2023
Pupils thrive in this nurturing and aspirational school. The school has a highly ambitious curriculum, and staff share their enthusiasm for learning with pupils. The curriculum has been designed to engage and inspire the school's diverse community. Pupils are eager to learn and participate with enthusiasm. Behaviour in lessons is excellent. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) get the support they need and achieve well. The school makes excellent use of the outdoor facilities. Pupils have regular opportunities for outdoor learning and play. This includes the school 'forest', where children from Nursery upwards explore the natural world and learn about the changing seasons. Pupils extend their learning across all subjects through a rich programme of activities, including cooking and gardening clubs and trips to sites of interest, such as museums and galleries. Pupils are supportive and respectful of one another. They develop a deep knowledge of equality and human rights issues and celebrate their differences. They aspire to be good 'Springfield Citizens' and have a clear sense of right and wrong. Parents and carers value being part of this small and friendly community.
