Alexandra Infant School continues to perform well, maintaining its good rating since the last inspection in 2018. The school emphasizes inclusivity and prides itself on a warm, nurturing environment where pupils feel safe and valued. Staff foster high expectations for both academic and personal achievements, particularly supporting pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) effectively. The curriculum is broad and tailored to meet diverse needs, and the school engages in various initiatives to promote personal development and cultural understanding among students. Despite its strengths, there are areas for improvement. Some subjects did not consistently implement the intended curriculum, leading to a focus on activities rather than essential knowledge and skills. This could affect pupils' readiness for the next stages of their education. The leadership structure, aligned with Nexus Education Schools Trust, provides a solid foundation but must address the identified gaps in curriculum delivery to enhance overall effectiveness.
