Sholing Infant School

About Sholing Infant School

Sholing Infant School has been judged Outstanding across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a rating it has now held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014. The school, which serves children from reception through to Year 2, received top marks of 1 for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. While the inspection did not assign an overall effectiveness grade, the clean sweep of Outstanding judgements tells a clear story. The school is one of only seven primary schools in Southampton to hold this rating, out of 54 state primaries in the local authority. That puts it in a small, high-performing group. The most telling exam metric for a school this young is the local authority’s Key Stage 2 average, which sits at 55 — though Sholing’s pupils leave before KS2, the strong early years and infant-phase foundation suggests children are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
