About Ardleigh Green Infant School

Ardleigh Green Infant School has been rated Outstanding across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in March 2024. The school received the highest possible grade of 1 for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a clean sweep of top marks, and it is worth noting that the school has held an Outstanding rating since at least its previous inspection in 2010, when it also scored 1 for overall effectiveness and leadership. For a school that only covers the infant years (ages 5 to 7), the most informative academic metric is the Early Years Foundation Stage profile, though the data does not provide specific scores here. However, the Ofsted report itself confirms that pupils achieve exceptionally well, with a particular strength in early reading and mathematics. The school sits in Havering, a London borough where only 10 out of 60 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating, placing Ardleigh Green Infant in a select group.
