What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
Each individual pupil is at the heart of Thames View Infants. Strong relationships between pupils, families and staff are fostered. These relationships underpin the culture of high achievement. Pupils engage enthusiastically with their learning and strive to achieve highly. They are extremely well prepared to take on the challenges of the next stage of their education. Each pupil's strengths are known and developed by their teachers and by leaders. Pupils feel safe to be themselves and know that they will be listened to by adults. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. As soon as they start school, children learn to care for others and take responsibility for themselves. They willingly engage in leadership roles. They enjoy sitting on the school council, being 'red T-shirt leaders' and buddying pupils in other classrooms who like having their support and friendship. Through these experiences, they are supported to develop mature attitudes and new leadership skills. A wide variety of clubs, such as yoga, computing and construction, spark pupils' talents and interests. Pupils value each other as individuals. They enjoy the opportunities to learn about people from the different religions and cultures that form the vibrant school at the centre of its community. These include sharing food at Eid, attending bhangra dance and drumming, and maypole dancing.
