Welcome to Chatsworth Infant School

Safe

"Relationships between staff and pupils are exceptionally strong. Adults know pupils well and show genuine care for them. This gives pupils a deep sense of belonging and helps them to feel safe."

"The school has a clear understanding of the reasons for pupils’ absence. It takes swift and effective action to provide support for these pupils and their families."

"Safeguarding arrangements are effective."

Happy

"Pupils, families, and staff are proud to be a part of this welcoming and inclusive school community."

"Pupils are eager to attend every day and are excited about learning new skills and knowledge alongside their friends."

"Work to promote the personal development and well-being of pupils is a strength of the school. Pupils learn how to look after their own mental and physical well-being. For example, pupils are taught to be mindful and learn breathing techniques to help them feel calm."

Learning

"The school has developed and embedded its curriculum so it is well established in all subjects... pupils build on their learning over time."

"Reading sits at the heart of the school’s curriculum. All teaching staff are well trained to deliver the school’s chosen phonics scheme... the school’s approach to developing early reading is highly effective, and pupils learn to read very well."

"Teachers have strong subject knowledge... They check pupils’ learning carefully and adapt teaching to address any gaps."
