About Linton CofE Infant School

Linton CofE Infant School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, confirmed in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2022, which found the school remains Good. This is a step down from its previous graded inspection in 2007, when it was rated Outstanding overall, with top marks for early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness. The school’s current Good rating applies across leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness, though no separate grades were given for quality of education, personal development, or behaviour and attitudes in the 2022 inspection. For a small infant school serving just 161 pupils aged 5 to 7, this consistency is notable, especially given that only five out of 210 primary schools in Cambridgeshire currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school’s most concrete academic metric comes from its local authority context: the average Key Stage 2 score for Cambridgeshire primary schools is 58, though as an infant school, Linton does not itself sit KS2 SATs, so parents looking ahead will want to track how its pupils perform once they move on to junior school.
