South Farnborough Infant School
About South Farnborough Infant School
Parents at South Farnborough Infant School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience, with 88% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school to others. That figure comes from 65 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, and it’s backed up by strong individual scores: 96% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 93% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 intake, South Farnborough received 180 applications for 90 places, making it oversubscribed by a ratio of 2:1. Of the 94 families who put it as their first preference, 86 were offered a place, so being first choice gives you a strong chance but not a guarantee. The school’s headteacher is Danielle Duffy, and it serves children from age 5 to 7 in the Rushmoor area of Hampshire.
