About Bushfield Road Infant School

Bushfield Road Infant School received a Requires Improvement rating in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a significant change from its previous Outstanding grade in 2007. The inspection report rated behaviour and attitudes as Good, but quality of education, early years provision, personal development, and leadership and management all require improvement. For a school serving children aged 3 to 7, the early years judgement is particularly telling. The school has 182 pupils against a capacity of 219, and 32.5 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. In North Lincolnshire, only five of 62 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating, with the nearest being Holme Valley Primary School, 2.8 kilometres away. Bushfield Road’s journey from Outstanding to Requires Improvement over fifteen years is a stark one, and parents will want to know what progress has been made since that 2022 inspection.
