Infant school

Ages 4–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Court Lane Infant Academy is an infant school for pupils aged 4–7. 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.

Overall pupil absence was 5.9%. There are about 22.2 pupils per teacher. Court Lane 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.
