About Brookfield Infant School

Brookfield Infant School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 114 applications for just 56 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.04, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. Of those, 54 were first-preference applications, and all 54 were offered places, suggesting that for those who put it first, the school is a realistic option. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the sheer demand speaks to its reputation in the community. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 5 to 7, located in the Tonbridge and Malling borough of Kent. With 179 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, it is effectively full, and oversubscription is a clear signal that parents value what Brookfield offers for the early years of schooling.
