Calcot Infant School and Nursery

About Calcot Infant School and Nursery

Calcot Infant School and Nursery sits in West Berkshire, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 57. As an infant school that only takes children up to age 7, Calcot doesn't publish KS2 results — its pupils move on before that benchmark — so direct academic comparison with the LA average isn't possible. What is measurable, however, is how the school performs against its own yardsticks. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, Calcot was rated Good overall, with two standout areas judged Outstanding: early years provision and behaviour and attitudes. That early years rating is particularly telling for a school with a nursery on site, suggesting the youngest children get a strong start. The school is noticeably oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 79 applications for 56 places, with 54 of those coming as first preferences. That 1.41 oversubscription ratio signals real local demand, especially given that only three of West Berkshire's 67 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted.
