Pupils at Field Place Infant School feel safe and secure. They trust their teachers to look after them. Pupils are happy. They are kind and friendly towards each other. Teachers have increasingly high expectations for their pupils. Since the beginning of term, they have focused on establishing routines in the school. Pupils have settled well, but on occasions they lose concentration. At times, some pupils become distracted. They are either not sufficiently interested in, or do not fully understand the work. Parents and pupils say that bullying seldom happens at the school. If it does occur, teachers act quickly to put matters right. Pupils know and understand the school’s key values: ‘Be ready, be kind, be safe’. Pupils experience a broad curriculum. They particularly enjoy the sports activities provided. The full range of clubs and visits have yet to get fully back up and running. Parents appreciate the hard work teachers put into helping their children learn. They are optimistic about the improvements the new headteacher will bring in. One parent commented, ‘With new management in control, the school is already making changes that will have a big impact on the children’.
