About Inglehurst Infant School

Inglehurst Infant School serves children aged 3 to 7 in Leicester, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Inadequate overall, a significant drop from its previous Good rating in 2012. For context, Leicester has 82 primary schools, with only five rated Outstanding, and the nearest Outstanding option, Christ the King Catholic Voluntary Academy, is just 0.6 km away. The school’s local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 62 percent, though Inglehurst itself doesn’t publish KS2 results since it only covers infants up to Year 2. What stands out is the contrast between the school’s current rating and the broader LA picture: while most Leicester primaries are at least Good, Inglehurst is one of a minority rated Inadequate, and its leadership and management, quality of education, and early years provision were all judged Inadequate, with behaviour and personal development requiring improvement.
