Parkhill Infants' School
About Parkhill Infants' School
Parkhill Infants’ School in Redbridge is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, currently home to 392 pupils against a capacity of 408. That leaves a small handful of spare places, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 178 applications for 98 total places, with 86 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.82, meaning nearly two families compete for every spot. Just 9.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average and a sign that the school draws from a relatively affluent local catchment. The headteacher is Rebecca Teague, and the school has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, which may explain some of the pressure on reception places, as families look to secure a spot early in this popular corner of north-east London.
