About Kingshill Infant School

If you're a parent weighing up Kingshill Infant School, the numbers suggest it's a popular choice. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 127 applications for just 49 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.59. That means nearly three families applied for every spot, and of those, 44 were first-preference applications — all of whom received an offer. While the school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, the sheer demand implies strong local confidence. The school is rated Good overall by Ofsted, with an Outstanding mark for leadership and management in its most recent 2023 inspection. That's a notable upgrade from its previous inspection in 2008, where it was rated Outstanding across the board; the current Good rating still reflects strong performance, particularly in early years provision and personal development, both graded Good.
