Infant school

Ages 5–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Phoenix Infant Academy is an infant school for pupils aged 5–7. 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.

Slough does not publish how far from the school the last child offered a Reception place lived, so there is no cut-off distance to show for Phoenix Infant Academy. Ask the school or the council how places were allocated this year.

About Phoenix Infant Academy

Phoenix Infant Academy is a primary school in Slough, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 270 pupils aged 5 to 7 attend the school.

Phoenix Infant Academy is oversubscribed: about 9 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 95 first choices for 89 places. Overall pupil absence was 4.5%. There are about 20.8 pupils per teacher. Phoenix Infant Academy does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
