Springfield Infant School and Nursery

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 January 2025

Springfield really does give its pupils 'the wings to fly and space to grow'. Pupils receive a truly excellent start to their education in every aspect of school life. The school focuses on building strong relationships with pupils and their families from the outset. All staff are unwavering in their determination for every pupil to succeed. Staff get to know pupils quickly and show them great warmth and care. From the first day in Nursery, teachers carefully build pupils' learning and experiences. As a result, pupils flourish, are happy and achieve highly. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They clearly strive to fulfil the school's 'I can' values. Pupils understand what it means to be inclusive, creative, ambitious and nurturing. Pupils of all ages are well mannered and show high levels of respect and self-control. Pupils know about keeping safe and looking after each other. They know staff are always on hand if they need support or have a worry. Pupils relish the wide range of opportunities the school provides. During the inspection, Year 2 pupils loved visiting Chichester Theatre, which left them wanting to learn to play orchestral instruments. Pupils are proud to be junior governors and enjoy participating in a wide range of clubs, such as karate, yoga and virtual games.
