Infant school

Ages 5–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Parkland Infant School 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.

Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it. In 2026 the school was not oversubscribed, so no distance limit applied.

About Parkland Infant School

Parkland Infant School is a primary school in Eastbourne, East Sussex, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 179 pupils aged 5 to 7 attend the school.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Parkland Infant School their first choice was offered one of its 53 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 1.83 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 7.8%. There are about 21.6 pupils per teacher. Parkland Infant School 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.
