About Bournes Green Infant School

Bournes Green Infant School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 153 applications chasing just 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at 2. 55 applications per place, and of the 82 families who put it as their first preference, 59 received an offer. The school is at full capacity with 180 pupils on roll, so demand is matching supply exactly. While the Department for Education doesn't publish a parent view score for this school, the oversubscription figures alone suggest strong word-of-mouth approval. The school is led by headteacher Travis Martinson and serves children from age 2 to 7 in the Southend-on-Sea area. It has a nursery provision attached, which may help families secure a place early. The school is non-religious and mixed gender, and just 4. 4 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well below the national average.
