About Field Court Church of England Infant Academy
Field Court Church of England Infant Academy holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a change from the Outstanding grade it received in its previous inspection back in 2010. The school serves children aged 2 to 7 in Gloucester, and its current inspection saw every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all rated Good. With 329 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, the school is clearly popular, and the oversubscription figures back that up: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 130 applications for just 58 places, with exactly 58 first-preference offers made. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.24, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. The school also offers nursery provision, so it's a genuine option from the earliest years.
