About Minet Infant and Nursery School

Minet Infant and Nursery School was rated Good in its most recent graded inspection, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating. The school, which serves children from age 2 to 7 in Hillingdon, has held onto that Good rating in its most recent ungraded inspection in 2023, where inspectors confirmed the school remains Good. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results — it only goes up to Year 2 — the most informative metric for parents is the Ofsted breakdown itself. Leadership and management were rated Good, and the school has maintained this standard across both its graded and ungraded inspections. For a primary school that only covers the infant years, the trajectory matters: the school has demonstrably turned around from its 2012 inspection, when overall effectiveness was judged to require improvement. With 406 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480, the school is not yet full, but it is clearly popular.
