The St Faith's Church of England Infant and Nursery School, Lincoln
About The St Faith's Church of England Infant and Nursery School, Lincoln
The St Faith's Church of England Infant and Nursery School in Lincoln holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its two most recent inspections. The most recent graded inspection in January 2017 rated overall effectiveness as Good, and an ungraded inspection in May 2023 confirmed the school remains Good. Leadership and management, early years provision, and the school's overall effectiveness were all judged Good in the graded inspection. For a primary school that only takes children up to age seven, the most telling academic metric is the local authority's Key Stage 2 average, which sits at 57. While St Faith's pupils do not sit KS2 SATs here as they move on before Year 6, the school's early years and infant-phase teaching are clearly laying solid foundations, given that the school is oversubscribed and local parents are choosing it in high numbers.
