What This School Does Well
Lyndon Green Infant School creates a warm, welcoming environment where children are polite, happy and keen to learn. The school prioritizes reading through engaging storytelling, library activities and phonics teaching that builds knowledge over time. New leadership has brought clear direction and ambition, with pupils enjoying enriching trips and opportunities to develop responsibility through school council and eco-team roles.
Key Strengths
- Pupils are polite, well-mannered and feel safe at school with positive attitudes to learning
- Reading is prioritized with strong phonics teaching and many initiatives to foster a love of reading
- Pupils benefit from a wide range of trips and after-school clubs and take on leadership roles with pride
- New curriculum plans are ambitious and set out precisely what pupils will learn in a logical order
- Safeguarding arrangements are effective
Areas for Improvement
- Some pupils who have fallen behind in reading are not receiving enough support to catch up quickly enough
- The curriculum for pupils in the specially resourced provision for SEND is not ambitious enough and does not meet their academic needs
- Staff do not yet routinely check what pupils know and remember over time, leaving some with knowledge gaps
- Early years curriculum activities do not routinely build on what children already know
- Teaching of the new curriculum in foundation subjects is inconsistent and not yet embedded
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective, with staff helping pupils manage friendship issues and pupils trusting staff to keep them safe.
Extracurricular Activities
After-school clubs, off-site trips, school council, eco-team, pupil research team, mystery reader visits
Lyndon Green Infant School remains a good school, though inspectors found evidence suggesting the grade could be lower if a full inspection were conducted now. New leadership has provided direction and stability after a period of turbulence, and improvements have been made in English and mathematics, but more work is needed across the wider curriculum.
