Earlswood Infant and Nursery School
About Earlswood Infant and Nursery School
Earlswood Infant and Nursery School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in March 2024, where inspectors judged that the school remains Good. This is a solid foundation for a school that caters to children from age 3 up to 7, and it is worth noting that the school’s previous graded inspection, back in 2014, also awarded a Good overall effectiveness rating, with leadership and management rated Good as well. For a primary school that only covers the early years and Key Stage 1, the most informative exam metric is the Key Stage 2 results, but since the school’s pupils leave at age 7, they do not sit these national tests. Instead, the school’s academic story is best told through its Ofsted record and its strong local reputation: it received 94 first-preference applications for just 107 total places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1. 82 applicants per place.
