Strengths
- “Woodlands Infant School is a very happy place.”
- “Pupils, including children in the early years, thrive in this harmonious community.”
- “Leaders place the well-being of pupils, staff and parents at the heart of their work.”
To improve
- “Where this is not yet the case, the early years leader is working in collaboration with subject leaders to ensure smooth transition from early years to key stage 1, in order to deepen pupils’ knowledge and skills over time.”
- “However, recruiting new governors has been challenging, resulting in a number of vacancies on the governing body.”
