About Biddick Hall Infants' School

Biddick Hall Infants' School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. In its most recent ungraded inspection in November 2022, the school was confirmed to remain Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. This is a solid foundation for a primary school that serves a young age range of 3 to 7 years. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results because its pupils move on to junior school before that assessment point, its Ofsted record provides the clearest indicator of academic quality. The previous graded inspection in 2013 also rated overall effectiveness as Good, with leadership and management and early years provision both scoring 2 on the four-point scale. This consistency suggests stable leadership under headteacher Joanne Storey and a reliable standard of education for its infant pupils.
