About Ellington Infant School

Ellington Infant School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 108 applications chasing just 38 places for the 2025/26 intake, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 84. That means nearly three families applied for every available spot, and all 31 first-preference applicants were offered a place. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand speaks for itself. The school is a state primary for children aged 5 to 7, located in Thanet within the Kent local authority. It is non-denominational and mixed gender, with headteacher Vikki Bowman leading a school of 167 pupils, just shy of its 180-capacity. Over half of pupils (53. 9%) are eligible for free school meals, which is notably high and suggests a diverse intake.
