From the inspection on 12 September 2023
The possibilities are endless for pupils who attend this school. Leaders are aspirational for all pupils. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve extremely well. Pupils consistently meet the high expectations that adults have of them. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. Wildground Infants is a calm and purposeful place to learn. Pupils are happy here. Playtimes are busy and fun, and pupils feel safe. They know that grown-ups will listen to them if they have any worries. All staff who work in the school understand their role in keeping pupils safe. Pupils understand the school's 'REACH' values of respect, excellence, ambition, care and honesty extremely well. Pupils and staff strive for excellence in all they do.
