Oakdale Infants' School
About Oakdale Infants' School
Oakdale Infants' School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The school's most recent ungraded inspection in September 2023 confirmed that it remains Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. For a school catering to children aged 3 to 7, the most informative academic metric is the local authority's Key Stage 2 average, which stands at 74. While Oakdale Infants' School does not publish its own KS2 results in this data set, its Good rating places it among the majority of primary schools in Redbridge that are not rated Outstanding — the borough has 12 Outstanding primaries out of 53 total. The school's headteacher, Danvir Visvanathan, leads a roll of 295 pupils, which exceeds its official capacity of 270, suggesting strong local demand.
