About Phoenix Infant and Nursery School

Phoenix Infant and Nursery School, a state primary in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school’s most recent graded inspection took place in 2011, and an ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed that it remains Good. The Ofsted breakdown shows that leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness were all rated Good (grade 2) in the 2011 inspection, with the same scores carried through in the 2022 ungraded visit. For a school catering to children aged 3 to 7, the early years provision is a particularly telling metric, and here it has been consistently solid. With 164 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is not quite full, but admissions data for 2025/26 tells a different story: it received 104 applications for just 45 places, with 37 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.31. That level of demand suggests local families see real value in what the school offers.
