About Heatherside Infant School

Heatherside Infant School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in January 2025, but the detail tells a more nuanced story. The school was previously judged Outstanding overall in 2015, and while the latest inspection did not assign a new overall effectiveness grade, inspectors gave top marks of Outstanding for personal development and for behaviour and attitudes. The quality of education and leadership and management were both rated Good, and early years provision also came in at Good. That means the school has held onto strong behaviour and personal development standards even as academic expectations have been recalibrated. With 259 pupils on roll, just shy of its 270 capacity, Heatherside is clearly a popular choice in Hart. The parent view is overwhelmingly positive: 99% of the 80 respondents would recommend the school, and 85% strongly agreed that their child is happy there.
