The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Hamstead Infant School is a welcoming and friendly place where all pupils feel safe and happy. As headteacher, you have established a caring and nurturing environment. Together with governors and the senior leadership team, you have ensured that the vision of ‘Dream, believe, achieve’ has been maintained despite recent challenges. Staff bring the vision to life through regular celebration assemblies where all pupils’ achievements and successes are recognised. The values of tolerance, respect and individual liberty are evident across the school. Pupils learn about these fundamental British values through lessons and assemblies. For example, pupils created a display of poppies to commemorate Remembrance Day in November. The school’s diverse population is recognised and celebrated. A display of the different faiths observed by pupils and their families demonstrates the school’s commitment to equality and respect. Children behave very well in lessons and around the school. Even the youngest children are responsible and sensible. Older pupils act as playground buddies or school council representatives. At breaks and lunchtimes, pupils play well together. Although adults are supervising, they rarely need to intervene because of poor behaviour.
