About Oatlands Infant School

Oatlands Infant School, a state primary for children aged 4 to 7 in North Yorkshire, holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024. The inspection was a section 8 visit, meaning the school was not given a new overall effectiveness grade, but inspectors judged it Good across the board for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, early years provision, and leadership and management. Personal development was rated Outstanding, a standout result. This is a notable shift from the school's previous graded inspection in 2013, when it was judged Outstanding overall. The school is clearly performing well on the ground, and the data backs that up: 100% of parents who responded to Ofsted's Parent View questionnaire would recommend the school, with 87% strongly agreeing their child is happy there. With 264 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, it is operating close to full, and the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is very low at 1.5%.
