Northway Infant School

About Northway Infant School

If you’re comparing infant schools in Gloucestershire, Northway Infant School stands out immediately for its Ofsted rating. Only nine out of 243 primary schools in the local authority hold an Outstanding grade, and Northway is one of them. That’s a much smaller share than the roughly 4% of schools at that level, so it’s a genuinely rare distinction. The school’s most recent inspection, in March 2024, gave it top marks across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all scored a 1. That’s a clean sweep. Its previous inspection, back in 2011, also rated it Outstanding overall, though early years provision was a 2 (Good) at that time. So the school has not only maintained its high standard but improved in that specific area. For a small infant school with just 88 pupils and a capacity of 180, that consistency is notable.
