Nether Green Infant School
About Nether Green Infant School
Nether Green Infant School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 183 applications chasing just 65 places for the 2025/26 intake, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.82. Of those, 63 families put it down as their first preference, and 63 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who wanted it most got a spot. That level of demand speaks volumes about the school’s reputation in the community. While the Department for Education no longer publishes a formal parent view survey for this school, the sheer number of applications relative to places is a strong signal that parents rate it highly. The school is a state-funded, mixed-gender infant school for children aged 3 to 7, with a nursery provision on site. Headteacher Lucy Hawkins leads a relatively small school of 171 pupils against a capacity of 251, so there is room to grow, but the current oversubscription suggests it is already operating at a level that local families find attractive.
