Downs Infant School

About Downs Infant School

Downs Infant School, a state primary in Brighton and Hove for children aged 5 to 7, was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2024. This is a notable shift from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was judged Outstanding across the board. The school now holds Good ratings for all individual categories inspected: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. While the overall effectiveness was not formally judged this time, the consistent Good grades across every area suggest a solid, reliable setting. The most telling academic metric for a school this young is the parent view, and here the data is striking. Of the 201 parents who responded, 99% would recommend the school to other parents. On the question of whether their child does well at the school, 69% strongly agreed and 27% agreed, with zero disagreement. That level of parental confidence is a powerful indicator of day-to-day academic experience.
