About Larkfields Infant School

Larkfields Infant School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its most recent inspections. The school’s most informative exam metric is its early years provision, which was rated Good in the 2023 inspection, a step down from the Outstanding grade it received in the 2007 inspection. Leadership and management also sit at Good, matching the overall effectiveness score. With 167 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is nearly full, and its 12.6% of pupils eligible for free school meals is slightly below the national average for primary schools. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good, suggesting consistent quality since the last graded inspection in 2017.
