About Badshot Lea Village Infant School

Badshot Lea Village Infant School is a small state primary in Surrey that serves children from ages 4 to 7, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated it Good across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership, and early years provision all scored 2 on the Ofsted scale. That consistency is worth noting because the school is operating at full capacity with 148 pupils, and it is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 120 applications for just 45 places, with 46 first-preference applications and only 42 offers made to first-preference families. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2. 67, meaning nearly three families apply for every place. While the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment in Surrey sits at 66, this school is an infant school so it does not publish KS2 results — but the demand from local parents tells its own story about the school's reputation.
