Crawley Green Infant School

About Crawley Green Infant School

Crawley Green Infant School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in December 2024. This is a notable shift from its previous inspection in 2013, when the school was judged Outstanding overall. In the latest graded inspection, inspectors awarded Good across every category they assessed: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school is an infant-only setting, so there are no Key Stage 2 SATs results to consider, but the Ofsted report provides the clearest picture of academic quality. With 258 pupils on roll, the school is operating close to its capacity of 270, and 25.2 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average. The school sits within the Luton local authority, where only 7 out of 46 primary schools currently hold an Outstanding rating, making Crawley Green's Good rating a solid, if not top-tier, outcome in the local context.

The school's parent view data, collected between September 2024 and September 2025, offers a mixed but informative picture. Of the 48 respondents, exactly half said they would recommend the school and half said they would not. Responses to individual questions were similarly divided: for example, 56 per cent of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school, while 41 per cent strongly disagreed or disagreed. On safety, 54 per cent felt their child feels safe, against 41 per cent who did not. The question about whether the school has high expectations for their child saw 50 per cent in agreement and 31 per cent in disagreement. The most positive response came on clubs and activities, where 67 per cent agreed their child can take part, with only 17 per cent disagreeing. The school offers a range of clubs including coding, book club, gardening, film club and chess, and sports such as cross country, athletics, football, netball, tennis and dance.

Crawley Green Infant School has a broad set of SEND provisions, covering specific learning difficulties like dyslexia, moderate and severe learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, hearing impairment, physical disability and autistic spectrum disorder. This makes it a potentially strong option for families whose children require additional support, though the parent view data on SEND support was not completed by any respondents. The school was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, with 141 applications for 89 places and 73 first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.58. Facilities include a dining hall, ICT suite, gymnasium and art studios. For families considering alternatives, the nearest Outstanding-rated infant school is Someries Infant School and Early Childhood Education Centre, 1.6 kilometres away. Crawley Green is a good fit for parents seeking a well-resourced infant school with strong SEND support, but the mixed parent feedback suggests it is worth visiting to see if the environment matches your child's needs.
