Ashcroft Infants' School
About Ashcroft Infants' School
Ashcroft Infants' School, a state primary in Tamworth for children aged three to seven, holds a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in December 2021. The school has maintained this standard consistently, having also been rated Good in its previous inspection back in 2011. Across all five key areas assessed in 2021 — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — the school scored a 2, the second-highest mark, indicating solid performance across the board. While Ashcroft does not publish Key Stage 2 results because its pupils leave at age seven, the local authority average for KS2 attainment across Staffordshire primary schools sits at 65. This provides a useful benchmark for parents considering the school's feeder destinations, though Ashcroft's own academic story is best told through its consistent Ofsted record rather than exam data.
