About Kingmoor Nursery and Infant School

Kingmoor Nursery and Infant School sits within Cumberland local authority, a mixed-gender state primary for children aged 3 to 7. Among the 144 primary schools in the area, it is not ranked among the top three, which are Jericho Primary School, Irthington Village School, and Shankhill CofE Primary School. However, the school holds a Good rating from its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2017, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good with an improving trajectory. This places it solidly within the majority of Cumberland primaries, as only five schools in the authority have achieved Outstanding. Headteacher Nicola Corfield leads a school of 293 pupils, operating slightly below its capacity of 322. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 145 applications for 84 places, with 83 offers going to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 1.73 suggests strong local demand, particularly given that 87 of those applications were first preferences.
