About Lark Hall Infant & Nursery Academy

Lark Hall Infant & Nursery Academy in Tamworth holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2012 rated overall effectiveness as Good, and an ungraded inspection in December 2021 confirmed that the school remains Good. For a small infant and nursery school with just 82 pupils, this stability is a solid indicator of reliable provision. The most informative exam metric for a school that only goes up to Year 2 is the Key Stage 2 data for its local authority, Staffordshire, where the average attainment score is 65. While Lark Hall itself does not publish KS2 results because its pupils leave at age seven, the local context shows that the school sits within a competitive primary landscape: 20 out of 308 primary schools in the authority are rated Outstanding, and three schools share the top ranking score of 100. This suggests that Lark Hall’s Good rating places it in the middle tier of local options, but its small size and early-years focus may offer distinct advantages for younger children.
