About Courthill Infant School

Courthill Infant School, a state primary in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its recorded inspections. The school’s strongest area, according to the inspection, is personal development, which was judged Outstanding. This is a notable achievement given that only five out of 66 primary schools in the local authority currently hold an Outstanding overall rating. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results — it only caters for children up to age seven — the local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 63, providing a useful benchmark for parents considering the next step after infant school. The inspection also rated the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management, and early years provision all as Good, painting a picture of a school that is performing solidly across the board.
