Palfrey Infant School
Key Stage 2 performance
Palfrey 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.
Getting a place
Every child who put Palfrey 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.
