About Consett Infant School

Consett Infant School, a state primary for children aged 4 to 7 in County Durham, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023. This marks a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2018, when it was judged to Require Improvement. The school has held a Good rating across both its ungraded and graded inspections since then, with leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all now rated Good. The school is small, with 161 pupils against a capacity of 180, and 21.7 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results — it only covers infants up to Year 2 — its most telling academic metric is the Ofsted judgement itself, which reflects a school that has turned around its performance and is now providing a solid standard of education for its youngest learners.
