About Ghost Hill Infant and Nursery School

Ghost Hill Infant and Nursery School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 134 applications for just 59 places, making it significantly oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.27 applicants per place. Of those, 63 families put it as their first preference, and all 59 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. That level of demand is a strong signal of parent confidence, and it aligns with the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2023, where inspectors awarded the top grade of Outstanding across every single category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. It’s worth noting that the school has held an Outstanding rating since at least its previous inspection in 2010, suggesting a sustained track record. With 204 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is running above its official limit, which further underscores its reputation.
