About Breachwood Green Junior Mixed and Infant School

Breachwood Green Junior Mixed and Infant School is a small primary in North Hertfordshire that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 28 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 87. Seventeen families put it as their first preference, and all 15 offers went to first-preference applicants. That level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school doesn't publish a parent-view survey percentage to back that up directly. With only 80 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, it's not bursting at the seams, but the numbers show it's comfortably popular. The school is a mixed, non-religious state primary for ages 4 to 11, led by headteacher Kirsty Badham, and 12. 5 per cent of pupils qualify for free school meals, which is slightly below the national average.
