Alwyn Infant School continues to be rated as good following its recent ungraded inspection. The report indicates that while pupils are safe, happy, and engaged in their learning, there are concerns that the quality of education may not meet the same standards if subjected to a graded inspection. The positive school environment is underscored by strong student-teacher relationships and a commitment to inclusivity, particularly in supporting pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, gaps in the curriculum—especially in some subjects—are hindering overall pupil achievement and knowledge acquisition.
