About Royd Nursery and Infant School

Royd Nursery and Infant School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in October 2024, though the overall effectiveness was not formally judged. The most telling metric from that inspection is the Outstanding grade awarded for early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes. Leadership and management, along with quality of education, were both rated Good. This is a school that serves a community where 22.1 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, above the national average, yet inspectors found that children get off to a strong start. The early years provision was singled out as Outstanding, which is particularly significant for a school that takes children from age two. The previous inspection in 2011 also rated the school Good overall, with leadership and management rated Outstanding at that time, suggesting consistent strength in how the school is run.
