Ravensmere Infant School

About Ravensmere Infant School

Ravensmere Infant School, a state primary in East Suffolk, stands out for its small size and strong Ofsted record, though direct academic comparisons with the local authority average are limited by its age range. The school caters to children aged 4 to 7, meaning it does not participate in Key Stage 2 SATs, which are taken at age 11. The local authority average for KS2 attainment sits at 58, but this figure is not directly applicable to Ravensmere’s infant-only cohort. What is clear from the data is that the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all scoring 2, or Good. This is a solid, consistent result. Its previous inspection in 2010 had awarded it Outstanding, so the current rating represents a step down, but the school remains well-regarded within the local context. With only 31 pupils against a capacity of 60, it is significantly undersubscribed, which may reflect its rural location or the narrow age range it serves.
