Simply the Wargrave best!
The ‘best thing’ about the Robert Piggott Church of England (C of E) Infant School in Wargrave is the pupils - and that’s official following an inspection by the Office of Standards for Education (Ofsted).
The inspectors evaluated the overall effectiveness of the Wargrave school and it was rated ‘good’ with a number of aspects of the school being classed as outstanding including the curriculum and personal development and well-being. And inspectors told the pupils ‘one of the best things about the school is you!’
The school in Beverley Gardens in Wargrave has 129 pupils aged between four and seven years on its roll. It already holds a number of awards including Healthy Schools status and Activemark and is currently working towards renewing its Gold Artsmark award.
Inspectors who visited the Wargrave school said pupils’ behaviour was ‘excellent’ and praised how well they got on with each other and with the adults at the school saying ‘they worked together extremely well.’ The strong partnership with parents was also praised. The pupils make good progress because of the ‘good teaching’. Their personal development was also praised saying it was ‘outstanding because of the excellent provision for their care, support and guidance’.
It was clear to the inspectors that the pupils enjoy school and they were impressed with the school’s curriculum saying it ‘provides pupils with such a range of exciting things to do that they throw themselves whole-heartedly into their work.’ The pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development is ‘excellent because the school develops this so sensitively.’
A major strength of the school is its curriculum and inspectors reported that the school had a ‘very good range of extra-curricular activities, and visits out and visitors to the school boosting both achievement and enjoyment.’ A strong art and design theme runs throughout the school and inspectors were impressed the high quality work that is displayed at the school
The inspectors noted that teachers ‘consistently challenge pupils to reflect on values and important issues, in ways that they are able to relate to their everyday lives’. Pupils are also involved with the local community and are often involved with community events at the church and the village.
