Great Moor Infant School has shown significant improvement since its last inspection, moving from requiring improvement to being rated as good. The curriculum is well-structured, enabling pupils to achieve well academically, and a strong emphasis is placed on fostering positive relationships between pupils and staff. The school environment is nurturing and supportive, creating a safe space where pupils enjoy learning and have opportunities for personal development through various clubs and responsibilities. However, there are some gaps in the consistency of curricular delivery, particularly for students with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Additionally, opportunities for pupils in key stage 1 to engage in experiences beyond the classroom are somewhat limited compared to those in early years, which can restrict their understanding of the wider world.
