About Bailiffe Bridge Junior and Infant School

Bailiffe Bridge Junior and Infant School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 67 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.31. Of those, 32 families put it as their first preference, and all 29 places went to first-preference applicants. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though the school does not publish a parent-view survey percentage to back that up directly. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 182 pupils against a capacity of 210, so there is some headroom. Headteacher Craig Roberts leads a school that has held a Good Ofsted rating since its most recent graded inspection in 2013, and an ungraded inspection in 2023 confirmed it remains Good. That is a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2011, when overall effectiveness was rated Requires Improvement.
