Glendale Infant School
About Glendale Infant School
Glendale Infant School sits within Warwickshire local authority, one of 196 primary schools in the county, and serves the Nuneaton and Bedworth area. While the school holds a Good Ofsted rating, it is not among the top-ranked peers in its local authority — those are Mappleborough Green CofE Primary School, St Mary's Catholic Primary School, and Barford St Peter's CofE Primary School, which all score higher on the local ranking measure. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is Our Lady & St. Joseph Catholic Academy, just 1.6 km away. Glendale is a state-funded, mixed-gender infant school for children aged 4 to 7, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Louise Hopkins leads a school that is noticeably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 152 applications for 89 total places, with 81 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.71. This suggests strong local demand, particularly from families seeking an early-years start for their children.
