Our Infant School, tucked away nearby just off the Portsmouth Road, has a secure ‘village’ feel, and a close relationship with the church. Excellent standards of achievement are maintained, providing children with a very happy and positive start to their school days.
These are some of the quotes from the school Ofsted report:
"This is a good school, whose success is based firmly upon very good pastoral care for pupils. Parents rightly praise the warm family atmosphere, in which pupils thrive. Parents' comments were overwhelmingly positive, such as the one who wrote that the school
'...truly nurtures each individual child, making each feel special and important, celebrating their progress, and supporting through tough patches...a place that our daughter skips happily to and from each day.' Pupils themselves say how much they enjoy being there, exemplified by the two boys who said 'I'd give this school ten out of ten'...'Maybe eleven!’ "
"Pupils are valued and treated as individuals, and close liaison with their parents helps the staff to meet their social needs very well. All pupils, regardless of ability, gender or ethnic origin are fully included in the life of the school."
"Attendance is excellent. Pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is good. They have a firm moral basis for their actions, reinforced through lessons and in assemblies."
"Pupils achieve well because of good teaching and their own positive attitudes to learning. Standards are consistently and significantly above average in reading, writing and mathematics. An important strength of all lessons is how well pupils are managed. This is based on clear expectations, well-established routines, praise for pupils' successes, and very positive relationships. As a result, pupils try hard and take a pride in their achievements, because they are keen to please their teachers."
