About Knights Enham Nursery and Infant School

Knights Enham Nursery and Infant School serves children from age 2 to 7 in Test Valley, and its headline metrics paint a mixed picture against the Hampshire primary average. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Requires Improvement across all five categories, including quality of education, behaviour, personal development, and leadership. This is a significant step down from its previous Good rating in 2013. For context, Hampshire has 33 outstanding primary schools out of 425 total, and the nearest outstanding option, Portway Infant School, is 2. 5 km away. The school’s KS2 performance data isn’t available in the local context for direct comparison, but the LA average KS2 score sits at 61, which gives a benchmark for what typical attainment looks like in the area. With 46. 9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a notably disadvantaged community compared to the Hampshire average, which is an important factor when weighing its current rating.
