About Lilliput Church of England Infant School

Lilliput Church of England Infant School sits within the Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole local authority, a large unitary area with 66 primary schools. Among its peers, the school is ranked behind three top-performing neighbours: St. Walburga's Catholic Primary School, Winton Primary School, and Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School. The nearest infant school rated Outstanding by Ofsted is Canford Heath Infant School, roughly four kilometres away. Lilliput itself was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection in July 2023, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2009. The inspection report gave Good marks across all five categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school is a Church of England foundation for children aged four to seven, with headteacher Christine Chambers leading a roll of 335 pupils, just under its capacity of 360. Only 2.7 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average, and the school is heavily oversubscribed.
