Strengths

“Sefton Park Infant School is at the heart of the community where everyone is valued and respected.”
“The school has created a sense of belonging.”
“The relationship between staff and pupils is warm.”

To improve

“However, at times, the way the curriculum is taught does not support pupils’ learning as well as it could.”
“This is because, in a few subjects, the school has not ensured staff have the necessary expertise to deliver the curriculum as intended.”
“As a result, not all pupils secure the learning they will need for the future.”
