About Oakwood Infant and Nursery School

Oakwood Infant and Nursery School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained consistently across its two most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection in 2018 rated overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision all as Good, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. For a primary school serving children aged 3 to 7, the most telling academic metric is the local authority's Key Stage 2 average of 55, which provides a benchmark for how pupils typically perform by the time they leave infant school. While Oakwood's own KS2 results are not published in this data, its Good Ofsted rating and the fact that it is oversubscribed by a ratio of 2.06 suggest parents have confidence in the school's academic foundations. The school's leadership under headteacher Aimie Habgood has been rated Good, and the early years provision, which includes a nursery, also received a Good grade in the 2018 inspection.
