School Awards

OFSTED- OUTSTANDING in All 5 Areas

We are delighted to announce that Springfield Infant School and Nursery has been awarded Outstanding in all 5 areas following our Ofsted Inspection in January 2025.

Please see below for our full report.

Asthma friendly School Award

Sussex’ first asthma friendly school award.

This award recognises that Springfield Infant School has met all the relevant criteria to ensure children with asthma are looked after to the highest standard, and that their asthma is managed to prevent them from missing out on their learning or having days absent from school. All the staff at Springfield feel extremely proud of this achievement.

Place 2Be – Improving Children’s Mental Health

Mental Health Champions

This award is in recognition of the Mental Health Champions Foundation course. The course focuses on enhancing professionals’ understanding of children’s mental health and introduces approaches that foster positive wellbeing in schools and communities. 

KS1 Quality Start Award

This award recognises and rewards schools for their commitment to PE, School Sports and Healthy and active lifestyles.

Springfield is very proud to hold the Platinum award. Thank you to the fantastic Teaching staff for all their hard work and commitment for making this possible.

Investors in Health and Healthy Schools Status

Both awards are presented to schools that can demonstrate the actions they take to improve the health and well-being of both staff and pupils.  The school continues to review its practices annually to maintain its healthy schools status.

Dyslexia Friendly School Award

Awarded in recognition that the school meets the requirements to teach dyslexic pupils. 

Eco-School

Springfield pupils learn to look after the environment within school and the wider community.   Through the efforts of our school community we have already gained both the bronze and silver awards.  The school has an Eco Action Team which includes pupils who are also Eco Monitors.  The Action Team has worked hard to consult with the school community and to produce an action plan to achieve a more sustainable environment.  Actions have included reaching out to parents with advice, information and support on domestic energy saving measures and distributing low energy light bulbs to parents to achieve the bronze award and reducing the amount of waste the school produces to achieve the silver award.   We have now a productive Eco team of children that are continually working towards making Springfield a better eco–school.

Activemark

This is awarded for exceptional delivery within the national PE and sport strategy.

Youth Sports Trust

Champion of School Sport Award.  We were the first ever Primary School to win this award, given as recognition of the amount of school sport we include in our curriculum and the innovative way we use our lunchtimes to increase and encourage the amount of physical activity children undertake during the school day.

Albion in the Community

Certificate of Partnership has been awarded to recognise the partnership with Albion in the Community to inspire the pupils, raise their aspirations and ultimately give them the confidence and skills to reach their full potential.
