About Clarkson Infants School
Clarkson Infants School enjoys a remarkably strong vote of confidence from its families. In the most recent Parent View survey, every single one of the ten respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That 100% recommendation rate is backed by consistently high satisfaction scores: all parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school and feels safe there. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 admissions round, Clarkson received 78 applications for 58 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 34. Of those, 62 families put it as their first preference, and all 58 first-preference offers were taken up. Parents also feel well informed, with 80% strongly agreeing that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 60% strongly agreeing that the school lets them know how their child is doing.
