About High Hazels Nursery Infant Academy

High Hazels Nursery Infant Academy in Sheffield is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school currently has 307 pupils on roll, which is 37 above its official capacity of 270, indicating that it is operating beyond its intended size. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 98 applications for 65 places, with all 65 first-preference applicants offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.51. The pupil demographic is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage, with 53% of children eligible for free school meals. This is significantly higher than the national average for primary schools, which typically sits around 23%, and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic deprivation. The school is non-religious and co-educational, with a nursery provision attached, making it a straightforward option for families seeking an infant school close to home.
