What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Stocksbridge Nursery Infant School is a safe and caring environment for pupils. The school places its pupils' best interests at the very heart of all they do. Positive and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils ensure that pupils are valued and supported. Pupils love coming to school. Pupils know and respond well to the school's high expectations for behaviour. Pupils behave well in class and at less structured times, such as playtimes. Where appropriate, the school supports pupils who may struggle with managing their emotions and meeting the school's expectations of their behaviour. Pupils know staff in the school will listen to them if they are worried. Leaders and staff share the same high aspirations for pupils. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are particularly well supported in class, including in The Orchard provision. A variety of enrichment opportunities encourage pupils to develop their talents and interests. Pupils particularly enjoy the range of sporting clubs on offer. A calendar of visits brings learning to life for pupils. For example, many pupils valued and benefited from the school trip to the seaside at Bridlington.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that the English curriculum sets out the fundamental writing skills pupils need as they move through the school. As a result, pupils do not secure the basic skills they need to write with increasing complexity, fluency and accuracy. The school should ensure that the curriculum for writing maps out clearly how to strengthen and build writing skills effectively over time.
