About Glenfield Infant School

Glenfield Infant School, a state primary for children aged 4 to 7 in Southampton, stands out for its strong local demand, but its headline academic metrics are not directly comparable to the LA average for its type. The local context data provides a Key Stage 2 average of 55 for the authority, but Glenfield is an infant school whose pupils leave at age 7, before KS2 SATs are taken. This means the school’s performance is measured through the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile and Year 1 phonics screening, not the KS2 results that form the LA benchmark. What is clear from the data is that the school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 116 applications for 56 places, with 54 of those coming as first preferences. That oversubscription ratio of 2.07 to 1 suggests parents in Southampton view it as a strong choice, even without headline test scores to compare against the local average.
