Oldfield Park Infant School
About Oldfield Park Infant School
Oldfield Park Infant School holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most telling metric for a school that only covers Reception to Year 2 is its Early Years provision, which Ofsted judged to be Outstanding in its most recent ungraded inspection in April 2025. This is a significant improvement from the previous graded inspection in 2015, where Early Years was rated Good. The school is full to capacity with 180 pupils, and headteacher Dave Goucher leads a setting where 12.2 per cent of children are eligible for free school meals. The parent view is exceptionally strong: 98 per cent of the 51 respondents would recommend the school, and 96 per cent strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy here. A remarkable 82 per cent strongly agreed that their child feels safe, and 76 per cent strongly agreed that the school supports their child’s wider personal development.
