About Polehampton Church of England Infant School

Polehampton Church of England Infant School sits in Wokingham, a local authority where the average Key Stage 2 attainment score for primary schools is 70. As an infant school taking children only up to age seven, Polehampton doesn't publish KS2 results — its pupils leave before that benchmark — so direct academic comparison with the LA average isn't possible. What is measurable is its popularity: the school received 112 applications for 42 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it oversubscribed by a ratio of 2. 67 to one. All 42 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests strong local demand and a catchment that works efficiently for families who prioritise it. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in November 2023, rated it Good overall, with Early Years Provision judged Outstanding — a notable strength given that this is the phase all four-year-olds enter.
