What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 February 2023

West Byfleet Infant School is a vibrant and nurturing community. Pupils are highly enthusiastic about coming to their welcoming school. They love learning new things alongside their many friends. There are high levels of care and pastoral support in place for every pupil. As a result, pupils feel safe and are thriving. Leaders' ambition is for every pupil to feel that they belong, are inspired and that they succeed. Leaders keep the development of the whole child at the heart of their work. They know their pupils and the community extremely well. At breaktimes, pupils play well together, keeping active by playing games that adults organise for them. Pupils are kind, considerate of others and well mannered. Pupils do not worry about bullying, because they know that caring adults will quickly deal with issues. Pupils engage in a wide range of clubs and trips that enrich their learning and interests. For example, visits to RHS Garden Wisley or Hampton Court support their spiritual and cultural development well. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school. A very large majority would recommend the school, although many acknowledged that staffing and leadership changes in recent years have sometimes been unsettling.

What the school should improve

  • In a very small number of foundation subjects, the curriculum is not yet fully effective. Consequently, pupils do not consistently achieve as well as they could. Leaders need to refine the curriculum so that it identifies the precise sequenced, foundational knowledge that pupils must know and remember.
