About Hatherley Infant School

Hatherley Infant School in Gloucester was rated Good by Ofsted in its most recent graded inspection in January 2024, a clear step up from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2021. The school serves children aged 4 to 7, and with 175 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, it is running very close to full. The most telling academic metric for an infant school is the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals, which stands at 35.4 per cent — well above the national average and a strong indicator of the challenges the school faces. Despite this, Ofsted judged the quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management all as Good. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 76 applications for 31 places, with 29 first-preference offers made.
