What Ofsted said about Furze Infant School

Inspection report dated 20 September 2024

Overview

Furze Infant School continues to be a good school, where leaders have high expectations for all pupils and have created a broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils enjoy a positive and calm learning environment, and are proud of the part they play in making the school a better place.

Strengths

  • The school lives up to its motto of 'learning happily together' and has a broad and balanced curriculum.
  • Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) follow the same curriculum as their classmates, receiving extra help if they need it.
  • Behaviour in lessons is calm and positive, with pupils focused and engaged in their learning.
  • The school provides many opportunities for pupils' wider development, including clubs, trips, and visits from external agencies.

Areas to improve

  • In a few foundation subjects, leaders have not precisely identified the important content they want pupils to learn and remember over time, resulting in some gaps in their learning.
  • Pupils sometimes struggle to recall their learning in these subjects.
