Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School
About Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School
Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School stands out sharply against the Hounslow local authority average for primary schools. While the LA average for Key Stage 2 attainment sits at 70, this school doesn't serve Key Stage 2 pupils at all — it caters for children aged 3 to 7, meaning its academic story is told through Ofsted rather than SATs scores. And that story is remarkable. In its most recent graded inspection, the school received Outstanding across every single category judged: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision, and leadership and management. That puts it among just seven Outstanding primary schools in a borough of 50, a significant achievement. The school has clearly improved since its previous inspection in 2011, when it was rated Good overall. The current headteacher, Daniel Willetts, leads a school that is heavily oversubscribed — 104 applications for 54 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with a ratio of 1.93 applicants per place — suggesting local families are voting with their feet.
