Ofsted Inspection Report

 

Stocksbridge Nursery Infant School is a safe and caring environment for pupils. The school places its pupils’ best interests at the very heart of all they do. Positive and nurturing relationships between staff and pupils ensure that pupils are valued and supported. Pupils love coming to school.

 

Pupils know and respond well to the school’s high expectations for behaviour. Pupils behave well in class and at less structured times, such as playtimes. Where appropriate, the school supports pupils who may struggle with managing their emotions and meeting the school’s expectations of their behaviour. Pupils know staff in the school will listen to them if they are worried.

 

Pupils are highly motivated and show positive attitudes to their work. In lessons, they are captivated by their learning and are eager to reply to their teachers’ questions. Subject curriculums are effective in helping pupils learn more and remember more over time. For example, Year 2 pupils can readily demonstrate their growing historical knowledge about a variety of significant figures and their achievements.
