About The Avenue Infant School

The Avenue Infant School, a state primary for children aged 4 to 7 in North Northamptonshire, stands out for its strong academic start, though it is an infant school so does not have KS2 results to compare directly against the local authority average of 61. Instead, its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This is a solid, consistent performance that aligns with the school’s previous Good rating from 2013, showing no decline. With 176 pupils against a capacity of 180, the school is nearly full, and its oversubscription ratio of 1. 89 tells you it is a popular choice locally. For context, only two of the 111 primary schools in the authority achieved an Outstanding rating, so a clean sweep of Good grades is a respectable and reliable outcome for families seeking a steady start for their youngest children.
