About William Martin Church of England Infant and Nursery School

William Martin Church of England Infant and Nursery School in Harlow holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it earned in its most recent graded inspection in 2016 and which was confirmed as unchanged during an ungraded inspection in 2022. The school’s improvement story is notable: its previous graded inspection in 2014 rated it as Requires Improvement overall, with early years provision also at that level. By 2016, both leadership and management and early years provision had risen to Good, and the school has held that standard since. For a primary school serving children aged 3 to 7, the most informative academic metric is the Key Stage 2 results, though these apply only to the small number of pupils who complete Year 2 at the school before moving on. The local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment in Essex is 62, and while William Martin’s own KS2 data is not provided in this profile, the school’s Good rating across both inspections suggests it meets or approaches that benchmark.
