A school located on the Nottinghamshire - Derbyshire border has been described as inspirational as it scored an overall 'outstanding' Ofsted rating. Pinxton's John King Infant Academy, in Pinxton, had previously been rated 'good' after an inspection in June 2022.
Pupils' "excellent" behaviour has been praised further, with the report saying they are "kind and caring" towards each other and "respectful" to adults. They also pay attention during lessons and understand the importance of trying hard and not giving up "if something is tricky to learn". "It truly takes a community to holistically grow our young people, and this recognition affirms the incredible collaborative efforts that make our school a nurturing and inspiring place for every child." Pupils also have access to a range of activities to broaden their personal development, such as sports, yoga, drama, mindfulness, and coding.
"For example, the 'learning mine' approach to knowledge and skills is a mark of respect to the community’s proud former mining heritage. In lessons, pupils are encouraged to 'dig into knowledge' as they apply what they know to new skills and concepts." The school is credited with having high standard indoor and outdoor areas where "creative activities enable children to develop exceptionally well across all the areas of learning". Staff said they were proud to work at the school and praised the high levels of training they access through the school and its Trust.
