About Christ Church (Church of England) Infant and Nursery School

Christ Church Infant and Nursery School in Wolverhampton received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in 2024, a significant jump from its previous Good grade in 2012. The school achieved top marks across every category inspected, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. This places it among a select group — only 10 out of 72 primary schools in the Wolverhampton local authority currently hold an Outstanding rating. For a school catering to children aged just 3 to 7, this is a strong indicator of the quality of its early years and infant provision. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for 60 places in the 2025/26 intake, it received 149 total applications, with 73 families listing it as their first preference. Of those, 59 were offered a place, giving a first-preference offer rate of roughly 81 per cent.
