About Odessa Infant School

Odessa Infant School sits within Newham, a London borough where 27 of 68 primary schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself is rated Good, and its most recent ungraded inspection in 2025 judged that it had improved significantly since its previous graded inspection. Among its local peers, Tollgate Primary School, Cleves Primary School, and Rosetta Primary School are the top-ranked in the area, though Odessa serves a distinct role as an infant school catering specifically for children aged 3 to 7. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Earlham Primary School, just 0.3 kilometres away, which gives local families a nearby alternative if they are seeking that top grade. Odessa is a state-funded, mixed-gender school with a non-religious character, led by headteacher Clare Barber. It also offers nursery provision, making it a natural starting point for younger children before they move on to junior schooling.
