About East Ruston Infant School & Nursery

East Ruston Infant School & Nursery was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2023, a step down from the Outstanding it held in its previous graded inspection in 2011. The school’s overall effectiveness, quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management all received a Good rating. With just 32 pupils on roll against a capacity of 50, this is a very small school where class sizes are small and individual attention is possible. The school serves a mixed cohort, with 28. 6 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, which is above the national average. The headteacher, Glenn Russell, leads a setting that also includes a nursery, catering for children from age two up to seven, after which pupils typically move on to a junior school.
