Cheadle Catholic Infant School has recently been evaluated as 'Good' in its first routine inspection in 14 years. The school has maintained a nurturing environment where pupils feel happy and safe, fostering resilience and a positive attitude towards learning. While the curriculum is ambitious and effectively designed to build upon prior knowledge, there are areas for improvement in identifying misconceptions among pupils, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Notably, some pupils also require more exposure to diverse cultures to better prepare them for participation in a multicultural society.
