The school has recently had a "GOOD" Ofsted judgement and has a range of expertise that will be fantastic to share across the Trust.

Little Gonerby Age range and phase change consultation - May 2022
Infinity Academies Trust are excited to offer the local communities of Little Gonerby the chance for their children to be educated in an all through primary school serving children from the ages of 4 – 11.
A joint consultation is being held by Little Gonerby Church of England Infant school, Harrowby Church of England Infant school and The National Church of England Junior school on whether all three schools should open to the complete
Primary age range (4-11).
This will mean that, pupils would not need to change schools and would benefit from a seamless transition from Reception through the key stages up to Year 6 in the same school. This would allow pupils and parents to build a long-term relationship with the school over a 7-year period ensuring that home & school links are strong and consistent for the benefit of all.
The consultation runs from the 16th May to the 17th June.
For more details or to comment on the proposed plans please contact enquiries@infinityacademies.co.uk
We are asking parents and carers to complete the consultation form below and return to the School office or electronically to enquiries@infinityacademies.co.uk by 17th June 2022.
For those parents wishing to find out more about the proposal a parent event will be held at Little Gonerby CE Infant School on Tuesday 24th May 2022 at 2:30pm at the school.
For information on the consultation please click on the below link to access Little Gonerby's webpage which contains all of the consultation information
