About Stanford Infant School

Stanford Infant School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022, a step down from the Outstanding it had achieved in its previous inspection back in 2007. The inspection report gave Good marks across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision, which is particularly relevant for a school taking children from age four, was also rated Good. While the school no longer holds the top grade, the consistency of its Good ratings suggests solid, reliable teaching. The most telling academic metric for this age group is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 score, which sits at 59. However, because Stanford Infant School only covers Reception to Year 2, its pupils move on to Stanford Junior School before sitting those SATs. The school’s own academic story is therefore best read through its Ofsted record and the strong feeder relationship with its junior counterpart, which ranks among the top performers in Brighton and Hove with a ranking score of 72.
