About Wescott Infant School

Wescott Infant School stands out in Wokingham for its strong Ofsted record, but the local authority data shows no Key Stage 2 average for infant schools, as pupils leave at age seven before those assessments. The school’s most recent graded inspection in November 2023 rated it Good overall, with Outstanding marks for early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. That’s a notable achievement in a borough where only six out of 55 primary-phase schools hold an Outstanding rating. Compared with its previous inspection in 2010, when it was rated Outstanding overall, the school has held a Good rating across its recent inspection, with several individual categories still at the highest level. For parents looking at infant provision specifically, the nearest Outstanding-rated infant school is Walter Infant School, 1.4 kilometres away, so Wescott offers a strong alternative within the local area.
