Victor Seymour Infants’ School Maintains Outstanding Standards in Latest Ofsted Inspection
Victor Seymour Infants’ School has once again demonstrated its commitment to excellence, following a recent Ofsted inspection which confirmed the school has successfully maintained the outstanding standards identified at its previous inspection.
Conducted on 11 and 12 March 2025, the inspection praised the school’s vibrant, nurturing, and aspirational environment, where pupils “blossom” and benefit from expert teaching, high expectations, and a strong sense of community.
The school, led by Headteacher Samantha Morrissy and part of the Greenshaw Learning Trust, received high commendation for its ambitious and well-sequenced curriculum, which enables children to make excellent progress across subjects. Inspectors noted that pupils are “exceptionally well prepared” for the next stage of their education, with most reading and writing fluently by the end of Year 2.
Inspectors highlighted the school’s exemplary pupil behaviour, effective support for children with special educational needs and/or disabilities, and its wide range of enrichment opportunities, including after-school clubs, performances, and cultural celebrations. Parents were overwhelmingly positive, praising the school’s high standards and warm, supportive environment.
The inspection also commended the school’s strong focus on inclusion and early support for pupils with special educational needs, as well as its effective systems for improving attendance and ensuring safeguarding.
Beyond the classroom, the school was celebrated for helping children become confident, respectful individuals. Opportunities for enrichment - from after-school clubs and performances to cultural celebrations and community links - were described as excellent. Inspectors found that “pupils are exceptionally well prepared for life in modern Britain.”
Liz Easaw, Director of Primary Education, commented: “I’m absolutely delighted that Ofsted has recognised the remarkable community at Victor Seymour Infants’ School. The ambition that drives such high standards is evident in every conversation, every interaction, and every lesson. I am especially proud that the school has improved even further under Ms Morrissy’s thoughtful leadership, which builds on the legacy of the exceptional education acknowledged in the previous inspection.”
