Infant school

Ages 2–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Biscovey Nursery and Infants' Academy is an infant school for pupils aged 2–7. 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.
