Rose Green Infant School

Overview

Rose Green Infant School continues to be a good school, offering a “nurturing and inspiring environment” where pupils “eagerly anticipate” attending. Leaders maintain high expectations, ensuring children develop into “responsible, resilient, motivated, independent, and creative” learners who attain well across a broad curriculum.

Strengths

• Pupils behave well and feel secure, supported by features like “worry monster” boxes and a culture where they “play nicely together, making sure no one is left out.”
• Teachers possess “secure subject knowledge” and skilfully adapt teaching so that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, are “fully included and attain well.”
• Reading is central to the curriculum, with phonics taught “consistently and systematically” from the start, ensuring struggling children are “identified quickly and supported expertly.”
• The school places “great emphasis on pupils’ personal development,” helping them understand emotions, healthy relationships, and how to value different views and cultures.
• Assessment is used effectively to identify and close learning gaps, with teachers using questioning to check understanding before moving on to new areas.

Areas to improve

• In a few subjects where curriculum refinements have only recently been implemented, pupils have not learned as well as they could; the school must ensure these improvements lead to consistent learning across the whole curriculum and close gaps in prior knowledge.
