Infant schools do not sit SATs, and no Year 2 results are published for schools, so there are no exam results for Ingatestone Infant School.
Ingatestone Infant School's catchment area comes from its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, which decide who is offered a place when more children apply than there are places. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance from home or a catchment boundary, and the school's admissions policy says which it uses. Living nearby does not guarantee a place, and how far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
Ingatestone Infant School is in Essex council's area. Check its admissions booklet for how far away places went in recent years.
