About Annfield Plain Infant School

Annfield Plain Infant School serves children from age 3 to 7, and while its small size means it doesn't publish Key Stage 2 results (its pupils leave before that stage), the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 62. The school's own story is told through its Ofsted record, which is notably strong. In its most recent ungraded inspection in 2024, inspectors confirmed the school remains Good, and crucially, they rated leadership and management as Outstanding. That's a standout finding in a local authority where only 8 out of 208 primary schools hold an Outstanding overall grade. The previous graded inspection, back in 2014, also rated the school Good overall, with early years provision and leadership both scoring 2 (Good). So while you can't compare headline SATs scores here, the trajectory on leadership quality is clearly above the County Durham average for its type.
