Langtons Infant School & Nursery has been found to continue performing well, holding its status as a good school since it was last inspected in January 2018. Leaders maintain a high standard of expectations for all students, particularly for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), ensuring a supportive and inclusive environment. While the atmosphere fosters positive engagement and children feel safe and valued, the school recognizes the need to enhance attendance strategies further and to solidify curriculum implementation across all subjects. One of the notable strengths of the school is its commitment to effective reading instruction, with staff well-trained in phonics teaching. Pupils demonstrate engagement and improved skills in reading, particularly benefiting those at risk of falling behind. However, the inspection highlighted concerns regarding the lower than expected reading outcomes in Year 2, suggesting that further efforts are necessary to ensure recent changes to the phonics program fully translate into improved academic performance. Overall, the supportive community aspects and leadership dedication are key features identified during the inspection.
