Carrington Infant School is a good school. This is acknowledged overwhelmingly by parents and carers, who are very supportive of the school, exemplified by one who commented, 'The school is improving every year.' The school offers a very warm welcome to everybody, whatever their background or needs, and outstanding care and support lies at the heart of its work.

The following is the letter sent by the Lead Inspector to all the children of Carrington Infant School after his visit.

Dear Pupils

Inspection of Carrington Infant School, High Wycombe, HP10 9AA

You may remember that I came to your school a few days ago with two other
inspectors. I want to thank you all for being so friendly and helpful. I thought you
would like to know what we found out.

You told us how good the school is and so did many of your parents and carers. We
agree that you go to a good school that is getting better all the time. These are
some of the things that we like about our school:

You are making good progress and you are doing better than pupils do in most
schools by the time you leave.
Teaching is good and helps you to improve your work.

The topics are exciting and help you to learn in lots of different ways.

The school helps to keep you all very safe.

There are lots of chances for you to do extra things which help you to stay
health and to really enjoy school.

Your headteacher and all the staff are doing a very good job and the want to make
things even better for you. We have asked them to do two things we think might
help:

Although you are doing well in writing, we want you to do even better. We
have asked our teachers to give you more chances to write about different
things.

Some of you have too much time off school which means that you miss
important work. We have asked the school to work with our parents and
carers to make sure that you have our holidays when the school is closed.

Yours sincerely

Graham Lee

Lead Inspector
