About Hampton Wick Infant and Nursery School
Hampton Wick Infant and Nursery School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 158 applications for just 56 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.82. Of those applications, 44 were first-preference choices, and only 44 first-preference offers were made, meaning many families who put it top of their list were unsuccessful. That level of demand is a strong signal of parent confidence, though the school does not publish a formal parent-view recommendation percentage. The school is a state-funded infant and nursery school for children aged 3 to 7, with a mixed intake and no religious character. It is led by headteacher Michelle Boyce and sits within the Richmond upon Thames local authority, an area with 16 outstanding primary schools out of 46 total.
Academically, the school holds the highest possible Ofsted rating. In its most recent graded inspection in October 2023, it was judged Outstanding across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a clean sweep of top marks, and it represents an improvement from its previous inspection in 2010, which was also Outstanding but had no data for several categories. The school’s early years provision has been rated Outstanding in both inspections. While the school does not publish Key Stage 2 SATs results because its pupils leave at age 7, the local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 76, and the school’s feeder destinations would be a key consideration for parents planning ahead.
The school offers a strong set of facilities for its young pupils, including a sports hall, gymnasium, playing fields, music rooms, an outdoor playground, and a forest school. There is also a chapel on site. Sports on offer include rounders, netball, athletics, dance, and football, while clubs range from coding and science club to gardening, book club, chess, and choir. For children with additional needs, the school provides support for moderate learning difficulty, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, hearing impairment, physical disability, and autistic spectrum disorder. With nursery provision on site, it suits families looking for a single setting from age 3 up to Year 2, though the very high oversubscription means early registration is essential.
