About Busbridge Infant School

Busbridge Infant School received an Outstanding rating across every category in its most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2025, a remarkable turnaround from its previous inspection in October 2021, when it was judged Inadequate overall. The school now holds Outstanding grades for quality of education, early years provision, personal development, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. While the school is an infant school (ages 4–7) and therefore does not publish KS2 SATs results, the most telling academic metric is its oversubscription data: for 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 163 total applications, with 70 first-preference applications. That works out at 2. 72 applications per place, making it one of the most sought-after infant schools in Surrey. The school's 94% parent recommendation rate on Ofsted's Parent View survey reinforces this picture, with 75% of respondents strongly agreeing that their child is happy at the school.
