St Andrew’s Church of England (VA) Infant School is performing well overall, with an overall effectiveness rating of 'Good'. The school has created a calm and orderly environment, where pupils behave exceptionally well and feel happy and safe. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities, ensuring they receive a good quality of education and access to a broad range of extracurricular activities. The curriculum is structured and ambitious, positively impacting pupils' learning experiences and motivation. However, there are areas that require improvement, particularly regarding the clarity of component knowledge in some foundation subjects. This lack of clarity can result in pupils not retaining as much knowledge as they could. Therefore, while the overall performance is commendable, attention is needed to refine assessment strategies and focus on the essential knowledge that pupils should learn, ensuring all students achieve their full potential.
