About Galley Common Infant School

Galley Common Infant School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 123 applications for just 41 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3 to 1. Of those 123 applications, 40 were first-preference choices, and 40 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first secured a spot. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Nuneaton and Bedworth area. The school is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 7, with a current roll of 158 children against a capacity of 174, so there is a little breathing room. Headteacher Michelle Dodds leads a school where 17.1% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools, indicating a genuinely mixed catchment.
