About Paulton Infant School

Paulton Infant School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school serves children aged 5 to 7 in Bath and North East Somerset, and with only 164 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, it is operating well below its potential size. Ofsted’s breakdown shows Good marks across the board: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision all scored 2 on the four-point scale. The previous inspection in 2011 also awarded an overall Good, with leadership and management rated Good and early years provision judged as Requires Improvement at that time. The school’s most recent inspection noted that the early years provision has now improved to Good, suggesting progress in that area. For parents focused on academic outcomes, the consistent Good rating provides a reliable baseline, though the school’s small size means individual attention may be a factor in its day-to-day experience.
