Our School 

Diamond Hall Infant Academy welcomes you. I'm delighted to introduce myself as the newly appointed headteacher. It is an honour to lead such a diverse and unique school, at the heart of the Millfield Community.

Our school motto “I can, you can, we can” underpins all that we do. The staff at Diamond Hall Infant Academy support each other and together we support the children to reach their full potential. All staff go above and beyond for the children in their care.

Our 5 core values, Independence, Positive mind set, Well-being, Creativity and Respect are fundamental to our work in school. We use associated linked texts to explore the meaning of the values and relate that to experiences in school.

 We value tolerance, respect, equality and diversity and these are woven through our work in school. We teach our young children to be tolerant of others, treat everyone with respect and to celebrate diversity.

 Children begin their educational journey at Diamond Hall Infant Academy and our carefully crafted curriculum “Fundamental Foundations” is planned to give children the best start in life, securing fundamental skills for life long, competent learners.

Teaching the City’s youngest children is an honour and our commitment to Early Years Education is well recognised, including in our latest Ofsted report 2019. “Children in early years explore and become curious in their learning. Staff make the most of the indoor and outdoor areas to develop children’s knowledge, understanding and skills.”

We have a strong commitment to the professional development of each member of staff, which was recognised in our latest Ofsted inspection “Leaders offer staff high-quality training in all subjects. Subject leaders are knowledgeable. They make a difference in their subjects and support other teachers to understand what needs to be taught. Teachers’ subject knowledge and confidence have developed well.”

All staff are invested in ensuring every child has the highest quality of teaching, enabling them to thrive.  To help to achieve this we ask for parents support to ensure good attendance so children can succeed. Children enjoy coming to school and that was captured in our latest Ofsted inspection, “Pupils like their caring, friendly school. They enjoy coming to school. They get along well together. The value of ‘respect others’ feelings’ is everywhere in the school.”
