About Eagley Infant School

Eagley Infant School serves children from age 3 to 7 in Bolton, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. That leadership rating is a strong signal, especially given the local picture: of the 97 primary schools in Bolton, only 16 hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school is clearly performing well above the baseline, but it's worth noting that the data doesn't include a Progress 8 score or KS2 results — those metrics apply to schools with older pupils, and Eagley's infant-only intake means its academic performance is measured differently. Compared with the Bolton LA average for KS2 (66 per cent reaching the expected standard), Eagley's pupils won't sit those tests until they move on to junior school, so direct headline comparisons aren't possible here. What we can say is that the school's trajectory is positive: its previous graded inspection in 2012 rated it Requires Improvement, and it has since climbed to Good, with leadership now recognised as Outstanding.
