Our most recent Ofsted Inspection was carried out on 5th March 2024.

Our School continues to be "Good"

We were very pleased that our Ofsted Inspector noted – 

• Crich Church of England Infant School exudes warmth.

• Staff model the kind, polite, enthusiastic attitudes that they want pupils to show.

• Pupils feel safe and secure in this nurturing environment. 

• Attendance is high. Pupils like going to school. Their behaviour is good.

• The school makes the most of the local environment and its rich heritage.

• All pupils benefit from regular forest school sessions. They like being outside and learning about nature. 

• The school’s ambitious curriculum leads to pupils gaining secure knowledge and skills in most subjects.

• Pupils attain highly in reading, writing and mathematics. The published outcomes in these subjects at the end of key stage 1 are strong.  

• Staff teach phonics with precision...The books that pupils are given to read are closely matched to the letter sounds they recognise...Pupils have positive attitudes to reading. They recognise the benefits of reading regularly. They say, ‘Books open up our imaginations.’
