Wallace Fields Infant School and Nursery

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 November 2021

Ambition and determination for everyone to succeed leads to pupils getting off to a flying start. A sense of purpose permeates the school, which leads to pupils being enthusiastic about learning. Pupils are happy and willingly immerse themselves in what they learn, asking thoughtful questions and giving well-thought-out answers. Every second of the school day counts and pupils relish the many opportunities they have to become more knowledgeable. Staff and pupils describe the school as a family. Every pupil is treated as an individual, and this includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). A culture of recognising and valuing difference is supported through pupils learning about different cultures and religions. Pupils are proud of and celebrate the 32 languages spoken by pupils at the school. Assemblies encourage pupils to reflect on what makes them unique. One of the school's values is 'respect'. Pupils demonstrate this in abundance. They use their manners and are kind, caring and considerate of others. Those who find themselves without a friend at playtime head over to the 'friendship bench', where they are quickly approached by other pupils offering to play. Pupils say that they can talk to staff when they have worries.
