About Springfield Infant School and Nursery

Springfield Infant School and Nursery received an Outstanding rating across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in January 2025. The school was judged Outstanding for quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This marks a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2015, when the school was rated Good overall. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results — it caters for children aged 3 to 7, so pupils leave before SATs — the Ofsted judgement is the most telling academic metric available. It places Springfield among just seven outstanding primary schools in West Sussex, out of 226 state primaries in the local authority. The nearest other outstanding school is Seaside Primary School, 3.6 kilometres away. The school’s headteacher, Rebecca Wycherley, leads a relatively small school of 168 pupils, with capacity for 180, meaning there is some room for growth.
