What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2022
The Lincoln Manor Leas Infants School is a warm, friendly and welcoming place. Pupils are proud of their school. They enjoy their learning and being with their friends. They told inspectors: 'The staff help you, and children are friendly. Also, you can learn to play the ukulele.' Leaders keep pupils safe in school. Pupils say that they feel safe. They know that bullying is not tolerated. They know that staff are quick to sort out any concerns for them. Pupils have a voice in this school. Staff generally have high expectations of pupils. Most pupils have positive attitudes towards their work and each other. Pupils like being class 'superstars'. Pupils play happily together at breaktimes. However, on occasions, some pupils find it hard to keep focused on their work. Staff do not always take a consistent approach to these incidents. This can affect how well pupils learn. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. One parent, who represented the view of many, said: 'The staff at this school have always gone the extra mile for my children. I have nothing but praise for the school.' Parents describe the school as a special place to be.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not agreed clear expectations for how the early years should provide the starting point for pupil's subsequent learning in key stage 1. This means that, on occasions, the curriculum does not focus precisely enough on ensuring that pupils are prepared for their future learning. In all curriculum areas from early years to the end of key stage 1, subject leaders should identify the important knowledge and skills that need to be prioritised so that pupils are better prepared for their future learning.
- Leaders have made changes to the school's curriculum in recent years but have not evaluated the impact of these changes. This means that they do not have a full picture of the strengths and weaknesses in the curriculum. Leaders should strengthen checking processes so that they can gather and evaluate information that will help them provide more focused strategic direction to curriculum improvement.
