About Quilters Infant School

Quilters Infant School enjoys an exceptionally strong reputation among its parent community. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, every single respondent said they would recommend the school to another parent. That 100% recommendation rate is backed by strikingly positive individual scores: 91% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 93% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school is also heavily oversubscribed; for entry in the 2025/26 academic year, it received 322 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.37. Of those, 91 were first-preference applications, and all 60 first-preference offers were taken up. This level of demand reflects a school that local families clearly trust and want to be part of.
