About Exhall Cedars Infant School

Exhall Cedars Infant School is a state primary for children aged 4 to 7, and it is currently significantly under-enrolled. With 123 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is operating at just over two-thirds of its potential size. That spare capacity is notable given the level of local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 80 applications for 48 places, with all 48 first-preference offers accepted, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.67. The school serves a community with a high level of disadvantage — 39.8 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national primary average of around 23 per cent. This is a non-denominational, mixed school in the Nuneaton and Bedworth borough, part of Warwickshire local authority. The headteacher is Sharon Hillyard, and the school has no nursery or sixth-form provision.
