About Earlsheaton Infant School
If you're a parent in Kirklees considering Earlsheaton Infant School, the first thing you'll notice is how sought-after it is. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 61 applications for just 18 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.39. That's a clear signal from local families that this is a school worth wanting. Of those 61 applications, 17 were first-preference choices, and all 17 of those families were offered a place. So while it's competitive, putting it first on your form gives you a strong chance. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 4 to 7, with a current roll of 97 pupils against a capacity of 120. That means there's some breathing room, but the high demand suggests parents are voting with their feet. The headteacher is Sarah Senior, and the school has no religious character.
