Winterbourne Nursery and Infants' School

About Winterbourne Nursery and Infants' School

Winterbourne Nursery and Infants' School is a state primary in Croydon for children aged 3 to 7, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good across the board. That puts it in a solid position locally, though it's worth noting that Croydon has 17 primary schools rated Outstanding out of 88 total, so the top tier is competitive. The school's key academic metric for this age group is the local authority average for Key Stage 2, which sits at 66. Because Winterbourne only goes up to Year 2, it doesn't publish KS2 results itself, but the LA average gives you a benchmark for the kind of outcomes children in Croydon primary schools typically achieve. What stands out here is the school's strong improvement story: its previous inspection in 2019 rated it Requires Improvement overall, with a 3 for quality of education, leadership, and management. The 2023 inspection saw every single category jump to Good, including early years provision, behaviour, and personal development. That kind of consistent upward trajectory is rare and suggests the leadership team under Petra Wigzell has made real, measurable changes.
