Albany Infant and Nursery School
About Albany Infant and Nursery School
Albany Infant and Nursery School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a rating it has held across both its graded inspections. The school serves children from age 3 to 7, so it does not participate in Key Stage 2 SATs, meaning the most informative academic metric is the Ofsted breakdown itself. Every category inspected in 2022 — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — was graded Good. That is a solid, consistent picture, especially given that in the previous inspection in 2016, early years provision was graded Requires Improvement. The improvement in that specific area suggests the school has strengthened its foundation stage offer. With 169 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is nearly full, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three.
