About Field House Infant School

Field House Infant School is a state primary in Erewash, Derbyshire, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, a clear improvement from its Requires Improvement rating in 2017. The school’s early years provision was judged Outstanding, which is a strong indicator of the quality of its nursery and Reception classes. While the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 59, it is important to note that Field House is an infant school, meaning its pupils leave at age seven before sitting KS2 SATs, so a direct comparison against that metric is not applicable. What stands out instead is the school’s trajectory: it has moved from a Requires Improvement rating to Good across all key areas, including leadership, behaviour, and personal development. With 30.2 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a community with above-average disadvantage, yet it has maintained a Good rating, suggesting effective support for its intake.
