About Trewirgie Infants' School

Trewirgie Infants' School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score for primary schools is 58, but as an infant school it doesn't publish KS2 results — its pupils leave at age seven, before that benchmark. What stands out instead is the school's trajectory. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023, it was rated Good across all five categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That's a clear improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2019, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall, with leadership and management also at that lower level. The school has moved decisively upward, and the inspection report notes that early years provision, previously graded as Requires Improvement, is now Good. For a school serving a community where 22. 5 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals — above the national average — this upward trend is a meaningful signal of effective leadership under headteacher Clair Bateman.
