About Hindhayes Infant School

Ofsted's Parent View survey for Hindhayes Infant School, based on 19 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 79% of parents would recommend the school to others. That's a solid vote of confidence, though it's worth noting that 21% said they would not. The picture from individual questions is more nuanced. While 95% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 90% felt the same about their child feeling safe, only 79% agreed that the school makes sure pupils are well behaved. On communication, 74% agreed the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, but 26% disagreed or strongly disagreed. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 87 applications for 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.47. All 59 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning if you put it first, you had a good chance of getting in.
