About Ludlow Infant Academy

Ludlow Infant Academy is a state primary school in Southampton, serving children aged 4 to 7. It sits within a local authority that contains 54 primary schools, only seven of which hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. Ludlow itself is rated Good, and the nearest Outstanding alternative is Sholing Infant School, about a kilometre away. Among its local peers, the school ranks behind Mansel Park Primary & Nursery School, Springhill Catholic Primary School, and Sinclair Primary and Nursery School, according to the local context data. With 261 pupils on roll and a capacity of 270, the school is nearly full. It is also notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, there were 143 applications for 57 places, and 52 of those offers went to first-preference families, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.51. This level of demand suggests the school is well-regarded locally, particularly for families seeking a short infant-phase education before moving on to a junior school.
