Our school was last inspected by Ofsted in November 2022, and was once again judged to be a good school.

Some of the highlights of the inspection report include:

• Leaders and staff provide pupils with a happy and safe environment in which to learn.
• The school’s curriculum reflects leaders’ high expectations for pupils.
• Pupils get on well with each other. They behave well in lessons and during break times.
• Leaders have a strong focus on developing close links between pupils’ families and the school.
• Making sure that all pupils learn to read well is a top priority for leaders.
• The curriculum and extra-curricular activities on offer are effective in supporting pupils’ personal development.

New Ofsted Inspection Judgements

There have been significant changes to the Ofsted inspection framework since our inspection. This short, three‑minute YouTube Video explains these changes clearly for parents.

The new inspection judgements set a very high standard and are not comparable to those used previously.

The biggest change is that there is no longer an overall grade, but a series of judgements.  These provide families with more insight into a school’s strengths and the quality of education than a single-word judgement ever could.

To help understand the developing national picture, we have reviewed of the outcomes from the 212 primary schools that were judged ‘Good’ at their last inspection and now have a published report under the new framework. The table below shows that, for the majority of these schools, the new judgement is ‘Expected’ across most areas.

We enjoy reading in the library, and we hope you enjoy reading these lovely reports about what makes our school special

SIAMS Inspection

As a church school, we also receive a Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS). This inspection assesses the distinctiveness and effectiveness of a school as a church school.  Rather than focusing solely on academic data (which is handled by Ofsted), a SIAMS inspection evaluates how well a school's theologically rooted Christian vision enables both pupils and adults to flourish.

Inspectors look at how this vision shapes:

• The school's overall character and ethos
• Collective worship
• Leadership and management
• Community cohesion and the treatment of all individuals
• Religious Education (RE)

Our last inspection was in June 2026, and we were delighted that the SIAMS Inspector agreed that St Laurence Church Infant School lives up to its foundation as a church school in all the areas judged.

Comments included: ‘The vision shapes the wider culture of the school to be a place of nurture ... As a result, adults and children care deeply for one another. They strongly articulate that they are loved, valued and known, which leads to them being more resilient and kind."
