About Hassocks Infant School

Hassocks Infant School is a state primary in Mid Sussex, West Sussex, catering for children aged 5 to 7. With 268 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, the school is operating at near-full occupancy, leaving very little slack in its intake. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 4.9%, which is notably low compared with the national average and suggests a relatively affluent local catchment. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 166 total applications for 88 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.89. Of those, 86 were first-preference applications, and 86 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first secured a place. This level of demand signals that the school is a popular choice among local parents, though it is not so oversubscribed that first-preference applicants are routinely turned away.
