About Maple Infants' School

Maple Infants’ School was rated Good in its most recent graded Ofsted inspection in 2014, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. The inspection report gave top marks of Good across all three graded areas: early years provision, leadership and management, and overall effectiveness. For a school that takes children from age three to seven, the early years rating is particularly telling — it suggests the foundation stage is well handled. The school’s previous inspection in 2010 also rated it Good, so there is a consistent track record. With 279 pupils on roll against a capacity of 322, the school is not at full capacity, yet it is heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 288 applications for 90 places, and only 79 first-preference offers were made. That works out at 3.2 applicants per place, making it a popular choice locally.
