iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).A very warm welcome to our school website. Dinglewell Infant School is a large Infant School with 270 pupils aged between 4 and 7 years old and is located on the outskirts of Gloucester, in Hucclecote. We aim to treat every child as an individual and provide a secure, safe, happy, welcoming and thriving environment.
We offer exciting learning experiences which have creativity at the heart. Our Y1 & Y2 parents recently completed a survey which I would like to share with you before you look any further into the life of Dinglewell Infant School. "Dinglewell is a fantastic school! It makes its pupils feel safe, valued & they enjoy coming. My daughter has flourished being at Dinglewell.
The staff are lovely & nothing is too much trouble! Can't wait for my son to start!"
