About Hartford Infant and Preschool

Hartford Infant and Preschool sits within Cambridgeshire local authority, one of 210 primary schools in the area. While it doesn't appear among the top-ranked peers in the county — those spots are held by Histon and Impington Brook Primary School, Caldecote Primary School, and Abbots Ripton CofE Primary School — the school has its own distinct strengths. It is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary for children aged 3 to 7, led by headteacher Rae Lee. The school is oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 81 applications for 41 places, with 40 of those being first-preference offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.98. This suggests strong local demand, particularly from families seeking an infant and preschool setting. With 162 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is not at full capacity, but the high number of first-preference applications indicates it is a popular choice among Huntingdonshire parents for early years education.
