Infant school

Ages 3–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Carr Infant School is an infant school for pupils aged 3–7. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

Every child who put Carr Infant School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.
