About Carlisle Infant School

Carlisle Infant School is a state primary in Richmond upon Thames that takes children from age 4 to 7, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 234 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, the school is running very close to full, and the demand is striking: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 165 applications for just 56 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 95. Of those, 51 families put it as their first preference, and all 51 were offered a place. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with 10. 7% of pupils eligible for free school meals, compared with around 23% nationally. This fits the pattern of the borough, which is one of the most affluent in London. The school is non-religious and mixed, with headteacher Zoe Brittain at the helm.
