About Chatsworth Infant School

Chatsworth Infant School sits within the Bexley local authority, a London borough with 61 primary schools, 11 of which hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. While Chatsworth itself is rated Good overall, it is located just 0.4 km from Burnt Oak Junior School, one of those Outstanding-rated primaries. Among its local peers, the top-ranked schools in Bexley are St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, St John Fisher Catholic Primary School, and St Stephen's Catholic Primary School, all of which are faith-based. Chatsworth, by contrast, has no religious character, which may appeal to families seeking a non-denominational start for their children. The school caters for children aged 3 to 7 and has a nursery provision, making it a dedicated infant school rather than a full primary. With 205 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, it is clearly popular, and its oversubscription figures for the 2025/26 intake confirm that demand outstrips supply.
