About Standhill Infants' School

Standhill Infants' School sits within Nottinghamshire’s large primary landscape — one of 286 state primary schools in the local authority — and holds a solid Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023. The school is an infant-only setting for children aged 5 to 7, located in the Gedling borough of the East Midlands. Among its local peers in the same authority, the top-ranked schools include John Blow Primary School, Harworth CofE Academy, and Bunny CofE Primary School, though Standhill occupies a different niche as a dedicated infants’ school rather than a full primary. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is The Good Shepherd Catholic Primary in Arnold, about 2.9 kilometres away, which gives some context for families weighing options in the area. With 127 pupils on roll against a capacity of 135, the school is nearly full but not yet at its limit, and its most recent admissions data for the 2025/26 intake shows it was oversubscribed: 69 applications for 26 places, with 24 of those coming as first preferences.
