About Heathfield Infant School

Heathfield Infant School serves children from age 3 to 7 in Richmond upon Thames, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management, early years provision, and behaviour all judged Good. That puts it in line with the majority of primary schools in the borough, where 16 out of 46 are Outstanding and the rest are mostly Good. The school has improved significantly since its previous graded inspection in 2016, when it was rated Requires Improvement, and the ungraded inspection in 2025 confirmed that progress has been sustained. With 296 pupils against a capacity of 348, the school is not at full roll, but it is oversubscribed for reception places: for the 2025/26 intake, 137 families applied for 81 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 69. That level of demand suggests local parents see it as a strong option, even if it doesn't top the borough's league tables.
