Studley Infants is a small school with a big heart. Pupils arrive in the morning with smiles on their faces and feel a strong sense of belonging. Their parents and carers are full of praise for the welcoming, caring staff. There is a real sense of cohesion and togetherness which extends to the local governors and the trust. The school’s motto of ‘suppose, imagine, succeed’ really captures the ambition of this vibrant school community. The school has high expectations of how well pupils should learn and develop. Pupils typically do well and are well prepared for the move to their next schools. However, some of the less able readers do not make enough progress to catch up quickly. Pupils behave well towards one another and are kind and helpful. They understand about fairness and respect. They enjoy strong friendships. At breaktimes, pupils take advantage of all the exciting activities on offer in the playground. They collaborate confidently with others in designing and playing games. The relationships between staff and pupils are highly positive. Pupils know that adults will always help if they have any worries. Incidences of unkindness or bullying are rare but are taken seriously and addressed if they occur.
