About Sandringham Infant & Nursery Academy

Sandringham Infant & Nursery Academy, a state primary in Surrey Heath, stands out for its strong local demand, but its headline academic metrics are not directly comparable to the Surrey LA average for primary schools. The LA average KS2 score of 66 applies to Year 6 pupils, while Sandringham only educates children up to age 7, meaning it has no KS2 data to measure against. What is clear from the admissions data is that the school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 132 applications for just 60 places, with 52 of those going to first-preference families. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2. 2, well above the typical local primary, and suggests that parents in the area view it as a strong option for early years and infant education, even if its academic outcomes cannot be benchmarked against the LA average in the usual way.
