About Reckleford Infant School and Nursery

Reckleford Infant School and Nursery sits in Somerset, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score for primary schools is 59. Because Reckleford only takes children up to age 7, it doesn’t produce KS2 results, so direct academic comparison with the LA average isn’t possible. What is clear from the data is that the school is popular: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 28 applications for just 19 places, with all 19 first-preference families offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1.47 suggests local parents see real value here. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all scoring 2 on the four-point scale. That’s a solid, consistent performance, and it’s worth noting the school has held a Good rating since at least its previous inspection in 2012.
