An Ipswich school and nursery has been told it is meeting the expected standards in a recent inspection by education watchdog Ofsted.

Springfield Infant School and Nursery, in Wesley Way, has been rated as meeting the 'expected standard' by Ofsted after being inspected on January 20.

The report - which was published last week - praised the school for being 'determined for all pupils to succeed, regardless of circumstance'.

Ofsted stated: "By the end of Year 2, pupils are typically ready for junior school. Pupils generally achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics.

"Those who have had lower starting points or additional barriers to learning, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), usually progress suitably from their various starting points."

Ofsted praised the school - which built a dedicated building for a support worker in 2024 - for working closely with parents and external agencies when considering how best to overcome any learning obstacles that pupils may face.

"Staff, ably assisted by knowledgeable leaders, are developing their expertise in how to best adapt learning activities to meet the range of needs in their class."
