About Fordingbridge Infant School

Parents considering Fordingbridge Infant School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those who know it best. In the most recent Parent View survey, 92% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents, a figure based on 25 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025. That confidence is backed up by the school’s oversubscription ratio of 1.26 for the 2025/26 academic year, with 63 applications for 50 places and all 50 first-preference families offered a spot. On individual questions, the picture is similarly positive: 96% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion felt their child does well there. 96% also agreed that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. The only area where a notable minority expressed dissatisfaction was behaviour management, where 16% disagreed that the school ensures pupils are well behaved, though 84% agreed or strongly agreed overall.
