Canford Heath Infant School

Ofsted

●Outstanding (2023) — Rated under the pre-September 2024 inspection system

This school has not yet been inspected under the report-card system introduced in November 2025. When it is, this section will show a grade for each area — Ofsted says the new grades do not map onto the old ones, so we do not predict them.

Inspected 21 March 2023, published 15 May 2023. Read the full Ofsted report

England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.

Will my child get in?

Roughly one first choice per place — 1.12 first-choice applications per place (Sept 2026 entry)

First-choice demand varies year to year, and the school’s admission criteria — not demand — decide who is offered a place. Use this as a rough signal, never a prediction.
