Field End Infant School

About Field End Infant School

Field End Infant School is a popular choice among local families, with 219 applications for just 69 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.17. Of those, 59 families put it as their first preference, and all 59 received an offer. That level of demand is a strong signal that parents who get a place tend to be very satisfied. The school doesn't publish a formal parent-view survey score, but the sheer number of first-preference applications relative to places suggests a good reputation on the ground. It's a state primary for children aged 2 to 7, mixed gender, with no religious character, and it has a nursery provision on site. The headteacher is Victoria Jarvis, and the school currently has 301 pupils, which is below its capacity of 345, so there is some headroom despite the oversubscription.

Academically, Field End Infant School was rated Good overall in its most recent Ofsted inspection in May 2024, with Good across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That's a step down from its previous inspection in 2013, when it was rated Outstanding overall, but the current judgement still places it in a solid position. The local authority, Hillingdon, has nine primary schools rated Outstanding out of 67 total, so Good is a respectable standing. The nearest Outstanding alternative is Deanesfield Primary School, 0.8 km away. For key stage 2 outcomes, the local authority average is 64, though Field End is an infant school so its pupils don't sit KS2 SATs; instead, the focus is on early years and foundation stage progress, which inspectors found to be Good.

The school offers a decent range of facilities including an outdoor playground, ICT suite, dining hall, sports hall, and a chapel. Sports on offer include tennis, gymnastics, athletics, swimming, and netball, and there are clubs like Eco Club, Science Club, Book Club, and Drama. For children with additional needs, the school lists provisions for moderate learning difficulty, social emotional and mental health, speech language and communication, multi-sensory impairment, and other difficulty/disability. This is a school that suits families who want a strong local infant option with good early years provision and a clear oversubscription signal that it's well-regarded by other parents. The nursery provision means children can start at age 2, and the 2-7 age range means families will need to plan for a junior school transition at age 7.
