About Cranmore Infant School

Cranmore Infant School, a state primary in Solihull for children aged 3 to 7, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022. That inspection marked a change from the school's previous Outstanding grade, awarded in 2007, with inspectors noting that the quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all now Good. The school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 122 applications for just 45 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.71, and all 41 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This level of demand suggests that parents in the area hold the school in high regard, despite the step down from its historic Outstanding rating.
