About Geoffrey Field Infant School

Geoffrey Field Infant School, a state primary in Reading for children aged three to seven, received an Outstanding rating from Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in December 2024. The school achieved the highest possible grade of 1 across every category judged: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This marks a continuation of excellence, as the school was also rated Outstanding in its previous inspection in 2013. With 310 pupils on roll against a capacity of 322, the school is clearly in demand. The most telling academic metric for an infant school is the Early Years Foundation Stage profile, and while the data doesn't provide specific scores, the Ofsted judgement of Outstanding for early years provision signals strong foundations in literacy, numeracy and personal development from the start. The school is one of only five Outstanding primaries in Reading's local authority, which contains 40 primary schools in total.
