Alderman Pounder Infant and Nursery School
About Alderman Pounder Infant and Nursery School
Alderman Pounder Infant and Nursery School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most recent was an ungraded visit in January 2023, where inspectors confirmed the school 'remains Good'. In the graded inspection before that, which took place in December 2010, the school was also judged Good overall, with Good marks for leadership, management, and early years provision. For a school serving children from age three to seven, the early years judgement is particularly telling, and it remains a solid Good. With 197 pupils on roll against a capacity of 237, the school is not yet full, but it is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 117 applications for just 52 places, and all 52 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That 2.25-to-1 oversubscription ratio suggests strong local demand, especially from families who live close enough to make it their first choice.
