Upton Infant School
About Upton Infant School
Upton Infant School sits in a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 56, but as an infant school it doesn’t take pupils through to that stage — its children leave at age seven, before SATs are sat. That makes direct academic comparison with the LA average tricky, but the school’s own data tells a clear story. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was judged to remain Good, a rating it has held consistently across both its 2012 graded inspection and the 2023 ungraded visit. Leadership and management, and the overall effectiveness, were both rated Good. The school is oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, it received 120 applications for 83 places, with 80 of those coming as first preferences, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.45. That level of demand suggests local parents see it as a strong choice for the early years.
