Stubbings Infant School continues to maintain a good standard of education, characterized by a supportive and caring environment. Pupils enjoy a positive and engaging learning atmosphere where they feel safe and valued. The school has effectively implemented a new early reading program, benefitting from staff training and a robust curriculum in mathematics. However, there are areas needing attention, particularly in ensuring that reading materials align better with pupils' phonics knowledge and providing more opportunities for problem-solving in mathematics. This is the school's first inspection since the COVID pandemic, and the context of their declining enrollment has been taken into account.
