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.
