About Churchfields Infants' School

Churchfields Infants' School sits in a strong position within Redbridge, but the data tells a slightly unusual story for a school of its type. As an infant school (ages 5-7), it doesn't have KS2 SATs results to compare directly against the LA average of 74, because its pupils leave before that assessment point. What we can compare is its Ofsted rating: Outstanding across every category in its July 2024 inspection, from quality of education to early years provision and personal development. That puts it among just 12 Outstanding primaries out of 53 in the borough. The school is clearly popular — for 2025/26 entry, it received 174 first-preference applications for 120 places, with an oversubscription ratio of 3.4. Only 118 first-preference offers were made, meaning even families who put it first faced real competition. The previous inspection in 2013 also rated it Outstanding, so this isn't a flash in the pan.
