About Falconer's Hill Infant School

Falconer's Hill Infant School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024, a grade it has maintained consistently across both its recorded inspections. The standout metric from that inspection is the Outstanding rating awarded for personal development, the only category to reach that highest mark. This suggests the school places particular emphasis on how children grow in confidence, resilience and social awareness during their earliest school years. The overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, early years provision, and leadership and management were all judged Good. With 159 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is operating below its maximum but remains popular: for 2025/26 admissions, it received 113 applications for 60 places, with 75 families listing it as their first preference. That oversubscription ratio of 1.88 confirms strong local demand for this infant-only setting, which serves children from age five to seven.
