About Phoenix Infant Academy

Phoenix Infant Academy, a state primary in Slough for children aged 5 to 7, stands out for its strong recent progress, though direct headline metrics against the local authority average are limited. The school does not publish Key Stage 2 results because its pupils leave at age 7, before SATs are taken, so the LA average KS2 score of 70 does not apply here. Instead, the most telling metric is its Ofsted trajectory. In its most recent graded inspection in 2019, the school was rated Good overall, with Good marks for early years provision, leadership and management, and quality of education. This is a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2016, when it was rated Requires Improvement across the board. An ungraded inspection in February 2025 confirmed the school has improved significantly since that 2019 visit, maintaining its Good status. This upward trend is a clear positive, especially given that only six of the 28 primary schools in Slough currently hold an Outstanding rating.
