Gomer Infant School
About Gomer Infant School
Gomer Infant School, a state primary in Gosport for children aged 4 to 7, serves 178 pupils and operates close to its capacity of 180. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results—its pupils move on before that stage—the local authority average for KS2 attainment in Hampshire sits at 61. For a school that focuses on the earliest years, the more telling metric is its Ofsted record. In its most recent inspection in November 2024, the school was judged Good overall, but the detail is more nuanced. Personal development was rated Outstanding, a standout strength that sets it apart from many peers. However, the school was not given an overall effectiveness grade in that inspection, as it was a graded inspection under a new framework. Compared with its previous inspection in 2013, when it was rated Outstanding across the board, this represents a step down in headline rating, though the school retains strong marks in key areas.
