What This School Does Well
Twerton Infant School creates a warm, caring environment where children develop confidence and independence from an early age. Teachers provide stimulating, practical activities that make learning enjoyable, and pupils consistently achieve above average standards particularly in writing. The school makes excellent use of outdoor learning spaces and provides good support for children with additional needs.
Key Strengths
- Pupils achieve well with standards regularly above national average, particularly in writing
- Teaching is good overall with high expectations and interesting practical activities that motivate pupils
- Classrooms are calm and purposeful places where pupils behave well and enjoy learning from an early age
- Good progress in early reading, writing and mathematics in Nursery and Reception
- Staff show good care and sensitivity, building close and supportive relationships with pupils
Areas for Improvement
- Monitoring of teaching quality is too generous and does not identify clear areas for teacher development
- Leadership and management systems are weak, with inconsistent tracking of pupil progress across the school
- Marking guidance is not followed up to check that pupils have acted on feedback
- Progress tracking lacks cohesion and does not include phonics progress information
- Governing body does not adequately check the impact of pupil premium funding on achievement
Safeguarding
Safeguarding arrangements are effective with pupils reporting they feel safe in school and the vast majority of parents agreeing, though bullying is managed well through responsive staff systems.
Twerton Infant School is smaller than average and requires improvement following a decline from its previous Good rating. The school serves a high proportion of pupils eligible for pupil premium funding and those with special educational needs.
