About Arden Forest Infant School

Arden Forest Infant School is a state primary in Nuneaton and Bedworth, Warwickshire, currently home to 159 pupils against a capacity of 180. That leaves a modest buffer of 21 places, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 93 applications for 54 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.72. Of those, 49 were first-preference applications, and 48 first-preference offers were made, meaning almost every family who put it top got a place, but competition is real. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.2%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 12%, suggesting a broadly representative intake for the area. The school is mixed, non-religious, and caters for children aged 4 to 7, so it’s a pure infant school with no nursery or sixth form. Headteacher Rose Gunn leads a relatively small community, and the school’s popularity hints at a strong local reputation.
