About New Silksworth Academy Infant

New Silksworth Academy Infant is a school that parents clearly want for their children. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 52 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.73. All 30 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that while the school is popular, families who put it first have a strong chance of getting in. The school does not yet have a published Parent View recommendation percentage in the data, but the high demand suggests a solid local reputation. With 206 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is running very close to full, which adds to the sense of a tight-knit, in-demand setting.
