Strengths
- “Pupils are happy at Sladefield Infant School.”
- “Staff greet them warmly by name as they arrive each morning.”
- “Classrooms are calm, friendly places with lots of smiles and laughter.”
To improve
- “However, a few pupils do not attend as regularly as they should, which means they miss important learning.”
- “In some foundation subjects, the links between what children learn in early years and key stage 1 are not embedded fully.”
- “This means that in these subjects, pupils in Years 1 and 2 are not always building on what they already know.”
