What This School Does Well
Lyon Park Infant School excels at supporting children from diverse backgrounds and those learning English as an additional language, helping them make strong progress from starting points that are often well below average. The school has significantly improved the quality of teaching through excellent staff training, and children enjoy reading with confident phonics skills by Year 2. Staff provide caring, supportive environments where all children, including those with special needs, thrive and feel safe.
Key Strengths
- Children make good progress in reading and mathematics, with above-average phonics results
- Excellent support for children with English as an additional language and those with special educational needs
- Strong promotion of children's spiritual, moral, social and cultural development
- Good behaviour and safety with children feeling secure and keen to learn
- Effective support for parents to help them support their children's learning
Areas for Improvement
- Progress in writing is weaker than in reading and mathematics - children need more opportunities to write at length
- Teaching is not yet stretching higher-attaining children enough in all lessons
- Teachers do not always give clear feedback in Year 2 or check children's work closely enough to spot mistakes quickly
- Children do not always know and use their learning targets to check their own progress
- Attendance remains below average
Safeguarding
Safeguarding is effective - the report confirms children feel safe at school and behaviour and safety are judged as good.
Lyon Park Infant School is a good school where children make good progress from low starting points and reach standards similar to the national average by the end of Year 2. The school has improved significantly since the previous inspection through effective staff training and better teaching quality.
