About The Gattons Infant School

The Gattons Infant School sits within West Sussex local authority, a large county with 226 primary schools, only seven of which hold an Outstanding rating. The school itself is rated Good, placing it in the solid middle tier of local provision. Among its peers in the area, the top-ranked schools are Barns Green Primary School and Heron Way Primary School, both scoring 86 on the local ranking metric, with Aldingbourne Primary School close behind at 84. The Gattons is a state-funded, mixed-gender infant school for children aged five to seven, with no nursery or sixth form provision. It is led by headteacher Sarah Gospel and serves 244 pupils against a capacity of 270, meaning it is not yet full. The school has a non-religious character and a relatively low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 12 per cent, which is below the national average and suggests a broadly affluent catchment.
