About Inglewood Infant School

Inglewood Infant School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2019. The school earned Good marks across all five categories inspected: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This turnaround is particularly notable given that the school serves a community where 22.9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, slightly above the national average. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results because its pupils leave at age seven, the Ofsted report noted that children in early years make strong progress from their starting points. The school's capacity is 348 pupils, but it currently has 254 on roll, suggesting it is operating below capacity and may have room to grow.
