About Nathaniel Newton Infant School

Nathaniel Newton Infant School is a state primary for children aged 4 to 7 in North Warwickshire, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has a published capacity of 270 pupils and currently enrols 251, so it is running close to full. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 146 applications for 87 total places, with 83 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.68, meaning nearly two families applied for every available spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 39.8%, which is notably high — well above the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%) and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. The school is non-denominational and mixed, with Julie Forshew as headteacher. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2024, confirmed that the school continues to be Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections.
