About Littleton CofE Infant School

Littleton CofE Infant School, a Church of England primary for children aged 2 to 7 in Spelthorne, sits within Surrey’s local authority, where the average Key Stage 2 score for primary schools is 66. As an infant school, Littleton doesn’t publish KS2 results — its pupils move on before that stage — so direct academic comparison with the LA average isn’t possible. What stands out instead is the school’s popularity: it received 105 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, an oversubscription ratio of 3.5. Of those, 32 were first-preference applications, and 29 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests local families see it as a strong option, even without headline exam data to benchmark against the LA norm.

Ofsted last graded the school Good overall in a graded inspection in November 2013, and a subsequent ungraded inspection in July 2023 confirmed it remains Good. The previous graded inspection, back in November 2008, also rated it Good overall, with leadership and management and early years provision both scoring 1 (Outstanding) at that time. The 2023 ungraded visit didn’t publish new breakdowns for quality of education, behaviour, or personal development, but the school’s consistent Good rating over two graded inspections is a solid track record. With only 118 pupils on roll against a capacity of 142, there’s some slack in the numbers, though the oversubscription figures show demand far outstrips supply. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is low at 5.1%, well below the national average, which often correlates with higher-than-average prior attainment.

Facilities include a Forest School, sports hall, art studios, and a chapel, plus clubs ranging from coding and science to drama and eco club. Sports offered are gymnastics, netball, athletics, and dance. The school provides nursery provision for two-year-olds and has designated SEND support for social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication, and autistic spectrum disorder. For families seeking a Church of England infant school with a strong local reputation, Littleton is clearly in demand — but securing a place is competitive. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary is St Michael Catholic Primary School & Nursery, 2.7 km away, which might be a backup for those who miss out. This school suits families who value a smaller, faith-based setting with outdoor learning and a broad club offer, and who are comfortable with a move to a junior school at age 7.
