About Longwood Infant Academy

If you are a parent considering Longwood Infant Academy, the feedback from other families is remarkably strong. In the most recent Parent View survey, every single respondent said they would recommend the school to another parent. That is a rare and telling statistic. The school is also clearly popular: for its 2025/26 reception intake, there were 22 applications for just 8 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.75. All 8 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers suggest you would need to have the school at the top of your list to stand a good chance. Digging into the survey details, 100% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy and feels safe. A combined 92% felt the school has high expectations for their child, and 96% agreed that their child does well there. The only slight note of caution came on bullying: 70% of parents marked the question as not applicable, which is generally a positive sign, though 4% strongly disagreed that it is dealt with quickly.
