About St Elphege's RC Infants' School

St Elphege's RC Infants' School received an Outstanding rating across every single category in its most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place in 2024. That means the quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management were all judged to be the highest possible grade. This is a consistent track record for the school, which also held an Outstanding overall effectiveness rating in its previous inspection back in 2013. For a state primary in Sutton, this places St Elphege's among a select group: only 12 out of 42 primary schools in the local authority currently hold an Outstanding rating. The school caters specifically for children aged 3 to 7, so its academic story is built on the early years and Key Stage 1 foundation, rather than the more commonly cited Key Stage 2 SATs results. That focus on the infant years means the school's success is measured through its early years and phonics outcomes, though exact scores are not provided in the available data.
