About Oakwood Infant and Nursery School

Oakwood Infant and Nursery School in Tendring has been rated Good by Ofsted, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement judgement. The school’s most recent graded inspection in 2016 gave it Good across the board, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good. The early years provision was also rated Good. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results — it only covers ages 3 to 7, so pupils leave before that assessment — the local authority average for KS2 attainment in Essex is 62. That figure gives a useful benchmark for the primary schools these children will move on to. Oakwood’s own academic story is therefore one of steady progress under headteacher Kathy Maguire-Egan, with a clear trajectory from requiring improvement to a solid Good rating that has now been held across two inspection cycles.
