About this school
Carr Infant School will be a primary academy in York. It teaches children aged 3 to 7.
Ofsted will inspect it once it opens.
Ofsted judgement
Carr Infant School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in November 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was Carr Infant School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
Predecessor school: Carr Infant School (closed October 2026)
Ofsted no longer gives schools a single overall grade. Each area of the school's work is graded on a five-point scale, and safeguarding is judged separately.

Results reflect each school's cohort as much as its teaching, and free school meals share is context, not a judgement. Small gaps between neighbouring schools are rarely meaningful on their own.
