What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
Pupils receive a strong start to their education. Children flourish in Reception, gaining confidence and developing resilience quickly. Pupils enjoy warm and positive relationships with each other and their teachers. Wescott Infants is a school where everyone believes that 'anything is possible'. Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils strive to follow the school rules. They understand clearly why it is important that these rules exist and why they should be followed. Pupils live up to the school's high expectations and work extremely hard in lessons. Pupils are kind and respectful citizens. They have a strong understanding of right and wrong and what is fair. Pupils overwhelmingly feel safe and happy and enjoy coming to school. This is a school that is aspirational for pupils to fulfil their potential and to develop a deep love of learning. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are supported to achieve well. Pupils are proud to share their achievements in assemblies and cannot wait for their work to be published in the 'Wescott Infant School World's Greatest Children Book'. Pupils learn about individual differences and are happy to share their own life experiences with each other. As a result, they celebrate diversity and welcome everyone to their school.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not consistently use the most effective strategies to enable pupils to remember the key knowledge. This means that pupils do not achieve as securely as they could across the curriculum. The school should ensure that staff revisit prior learning and link new learning to what pupils have learned before to support them to learn the essential knowledge and skills across the curriculum.
