Emmbrook Infant School is a maintained infant school for pupils aged four to seven years. There are two classes in each year group. The school incorporates a specialist resource provision for pupils who have education, health and care plans linked to hearing impairments. It is funded by the local authority and run jointly with the adjacent junior school. There are currently two pupils in the resource base who attend the infant school. Most pupils are of White British origin. A similar percentage of pupils speak English as an additional language as is the case nationally. The school is in an area of low social deprivation. The proportion of pupils who are eligible for free school meals is well below the national average. A playgroup operates on the school site. It is registered and inspected independently of the infant school. A separately run breakfast and after-school club operates from the bungalow adjacent to the school. Inspection report: Emmbrook Infant School, 15–16 January 2019 Page 9 of 11 Information about this inspection Inspectors met with leaders, and with groups of staff, pupils and governors. The lead inspector met with a representative of the local authority. Inspectors visited all classes to observe learning across a range of subjects. They looked at pupils’ books and talked to them about their work. Some of these visits were carried out with school leaders. Survey responses from 79 pupils and 27 members of staff were considered. Inspectors also took 123 responses to the Parent View online questionnaire into account, including 66 free-text responses, and spoke informally to some parents at the start of the school day. Inspectors scrutinised a range of documents available on the school website and provided by school leaders. These included the school’s self-evaluation and improvement planning, records of meetings, curriculum planning and leaders’ information about pupils’ behaviour, attendance and academic performance.
