About Broomhill Infant School

Broomhill Infant School is a state primary in Sheffield that parents clearly want for their children. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 123 applications for just 34 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.62. Of those, 32 first-preference families were offered a spot, meaning competition is real but not impossible for those who list it first. The school itself is small, with 104 pupils on roll against a capacity of 120, so classes feel intimate. Headteacher Jane Barnes leads a mixed, non-religious infant school for children aged 4 to 7. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the sheer volume of applications suggests strong local confidence. Facilities include a sensory room, sports hall, forest school, dining hall and art studios, plus clubs ranging from book club and chess to drama and gardening. For families prioritising a calm, well-resourced start to primary, this is a school that clearly resonates.
