Nathaniel Newton Infant School continues to perform well, maintaining its good status since its last inspection. The school is noted for its welcoming atmosphere and inclusive practices, where pupils feel safe and happy. Strong relationships between staff and pupils foster a positive environment that encourages hard work and good behavior. The curriculum is ambitious and adapted for all learners, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), highlighting the school's commitment to providing a high-quality education for all students. The integration of enrichment activities further enhances pupils' experiences and engagement with their learning. However, there are areas that require attention, such as the need for improved assessment processes in foundation subjects to better identify knowledge gaps among pupils. Additionally, the school faces challenges in ensuring consistent expectations for handwriting, which affects some students' writing fluency. Leaders are actively addressing these areas, striving for continuous improvement in academic and developmental outcomes for all pupils.
