About Altmore Infant School

Altmore Infant School is clearly a popular choice among Newham families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 221 applications for 116 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 1.91. That means nearly two families applied for every available spot, and 107 of those applicants put Altmore as their first preference. While the school doesn’t publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, the high demand alone signals strong local confidence. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Rowlands and caters to children aged 2 to 7, with nursery provision on site. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, Altmore was rated Good overall, with two standout areas: personal development and behaviour and attitudes both earned Outstanding grades. That suggests parents can expect a school that takes children’s wider growth and conduct seriously, not just their academic progress.
