Oakfield Infant School

About Oakfield Infant School

Oakfield Infant School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score for primary schools is 64, but as an infant school taking children only from ages 4 to 7, Oakfield doesn't sit those KS2 tests itself. What it does offer is a clear upward trajectory in its most recent Ofsted inspection. In July 2024, the school was rated Good overall, a notable improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in November 2022. Every graded category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — now sits at Good (grade 2). That's a clean sweep of improvement across the board, and it suggests the school has addressed the weaknesses flagged in the earlier inspection with some urgency. With only 146 pupils against a capacity of 180, it's not at full roll, but the oversubscription data for 2025/26 tells a different story: 129 applications for 45 places, with 35 first-preference offers made. That's an oversubscription ratio of 2.87, meaning nearly three families apply for every place, which points to strong local demand.
