About Bracebridge Infant and Nursery School

Bracebridge Infant and Nursery School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded inspections. The school serves children from age three to seven, and its early years provision was also judged Good. With only 86 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90, it is a small, close-knit setting where every child is known. The most telling academic metric for a school this young is not exam results but the fact that it is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 30 applications for 18 places, and all 18 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 67 suggests strong local demand, and the school’s 26. 2 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is above the national average, indicating it serves a diverse catchment.
