From the William Austin Infant School
William Austin, a philanthropist and historian from Luton, is honoured by the name of our school. In 1973, the Infant School and Junior Department were divided. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection took place in December 2018. We received a very successful and favourable report and were considered to be a good school. The inspectors praised the school for its many strengths and commendable qualities, stating that we had "built a pleasant, accepting, and happy school." The students exhibit excellent classroom behaviour and seem to love going to school. They also acknowledged our school's excellent teaching, which helps all of our students make rapid progress. The excellent behaviour of our students, of which we are quite proud, was recognised by Ofsted. On Ofsted's website, www.ofsted.gov.uk, you can read the complete Ofsted report.
