About Woodgrange Infant School

Woodgrange Infant School in Newham received a Requires Improvement rating from Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in March 2025, a downgrade from the Good rating it had held since its previous inspection in 2011. The school's overall effectiveness was not judged this time, but inspectors rated the quality of education and leadership and management as Requires Improvement, while early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes were all judged Good. The most telling exam metric for a school that only goes up to Year 2 is the local authority's Key Stage 2 average of 74, which gives a sense of the academic benchmark children will need to meet when they move on to junior school. With 19 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals, Woodgrange serves a community with above-average disadvantage, and the school is oversubscribed — 236 families applied for 120 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, with 103 offers going to first-preference applicants.
