About Roselands Infants' School

Roselands Infants' School in Eastbourne was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, with every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — all receiving the same Good mark. That represents a change from the school's previous inspection, where it was rated Outstanding. Because Roselands only takes children from age four to seven, its pupils do not sit Key Stage 2 SATs, so there are no Progress 8 or Attainment 8 scores to compare against the East Sussex local authority average of 59. The most telling academic metric available is the school's popularity at the admissions gate. For the 2025/26 intake, Roselands received 157 applications for 71 places, with 67 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2. 21 applications per place, a strong signal that local families see it as a reliable choice for the earliest years of primary education.
