Crofton Infants is a large infant’s school in the village of Crofton, near the city of Wakefield. The school serves the community of Crofton and the surrounding villages. The proportion of our children known to be eligible for pupil premium and SEND is in line with the national average. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school and promote opportunities for all.

At our last Ofsted inspection the school continued to be good and we are keen to build on our strengths and aspire to be outstanding.

We have a strong relationship with the local community and positive relationships with parents and carers to support the learning of all our young children.

We have high expectations for both children and staff. The school is a proud member of Waterton Academy Trust and we recognise the importance of working collaboratively with other schools. There are plenty of opportunities to do this within the Trust

We have a dedicated, professional staff who are committed to ensuring our pupils receive the best start in their education journey. Our curriculum gives children the opportunity to be curious, independent and to take risks.  We are a welcoming, happy school and promote a culture of mutual respect and empathy throughout the whole school community.
