Humberstone Infant Academy
About Humberstone Infant Academy
Humberstone Infant Academy sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 62, but this school only covers children from age 3 to 7, so it doesn't produce KS2 results. What stands out instead is its admission data: the school received 136 applications for 70 places in the 2025/26 intake, with 69 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of nearly 2:1 tells you this is a school local families actively want. Its Ofsted rating of Good, confirmed in a June 2024 ungraded inspection, marks a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2019, where it was rated Requires Improvement. The school now holds Good grades for overall effectiveness, early years provision, and leadership and management, with inspectors noting it is 'Improving'.
