What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Telford Infant School is a place for 'loving learning'. Pupils happily attend and are proud of their school. Parents' views of the school are very positive. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), flourish. They live up to the school's high expectations for learning and behaviour. Pupils are polite and considerate. They hold open doors and smile warmly at staff and visitors. All pupils know and reflect the school's rules of 'safe, kind and proud'. Pupils learn that they have an important role to play in their school and the wider community. For example, they can become school councillors or sports ambassadors. They raise money for charity and learn about other countries and cultures through their links with Sierra Leone. Lunchtime clubs, such as 'zen den', give pupils who need it the opportunity for some quiet time. Other clubs, such as learning different languages, cooking and multi-sports, give pupils opportunities to develop their talents and discover new interests. Pupils know that there is always an adult to talk to if they have a worry. They know that the adults keep them safe in school. Pupils also look out for each other. They value opportunities such as class buddies, where younger and older pupils can read together.
What the school should improve
- In phonics lessons, some pupils make mistakes which are not addressed. This means that they sometimes learn the wrong things or move on to new learning without secure understanding of previous learning. The school should ensure that pupils' mistakes and misconceptions are identified and addressed before moving on.
- There is some variation in teachers' subject knowledge in a small number of subjects. This means that, sometimes, subject-specific vocabulary and teaching resources are used incorrectly, hampering pupils from understanding the important learning identified in the curriculum. The school should ensure that all staff have the necessary subject knowledge across all subjects so that they can support pupils to develop their understanding correctly, helping pupils to achieve as highly as they can.
