Onslow Infant School
About Onslow Infant School
Onslow Infant School in Guildford holds a Good rating from its most recent graded inspection in 2017, a judgement that was confirmed as still accurate in an ungraded inspection in 2023. That 2023 visit found the school 'remains Good', with leadership and management and early years provision both rated Good. The school's history shows it was previously rated Outstanding in 2011, so this is a school that has maintained strong standards even after a slight dip in its overall grade. For a school that only covers Reception to Year 2, the most telling academic metric is the early years provision grade, which inspectors judged as Good in 2023. This matters because it covers the crucial foundation stage where children learn to read, write and work with numbers. With just 151 pupils against a capacity of 180, the school is operating below its maximum, which may mean smaller class sizes than some local alternatives.
