About St Michael's Church of England Controlled Infant School

St Michael's Church of England Controlled Infant School in Rushmoor was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2015. The inspection gave the school Good marks across the board: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision were all judged Good. While the school no longer holds the top grade, it's worth noting that the local authority has 33 Outstanding primary schools out of 425 total, so Good is a solid rating in this context. The most informative exam metric for an infant school is the Key Stage 2 SATs results, but as St Michael's only covers ages 5-7, it doesn't sit these tests. Instead, the school's early years provision was specifically rated Good, and with 268 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, it's running very close to full, suggesting strong local demand.
