Long Ditton Infant and Nursery School
About Long Ditton Infant and Nursery School
Long Ditton Infant and Nursery School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, and while it doesn't publish Key Stage 2 results (its pupils move on before that stage), the local authority average for KS2 in Surrey is 66. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2025, judged it Good overall, but with three Outstanding grades: early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. That's a stronger profile than many primaries in the county — Surrey has 33 Outstanding schools out of 298 total, so this infant school sits in a select group for those specific areas. Its leadership and management and quality of education were both rated Good. The previous inspection in 2010 also gave it Good overall, so the school has held a solid reputation over time. What stands out here is that the Outstanding ratings are concentrated in the youngest years and the wider development of children, which is exactly what you'd want from an infant and nursery setting.
