Southbroom Infants' School
About Southbroom Infants' School
Ofsted's Parent View survey, based on 46 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 70% of parents would recommend Southbroom Infants' School. That's a solid majority, though it leaves a notable 30% who would not. Looking closer at the individual responses, the picture is more mixed. While 94% of parents agree or strongly agree that their child is happy at the school, and 91% feel their child is safe, other areas raise questions. On how concerns are dealt with, 59% agree or strongly agree, but 27% disagree or strongly disagree. Similarly, 86% of parents feel the school has high expectations for their child, and 85% say their child does well. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 27 applications for 20 places, giving a ratio of 1. 35. Of those, 18 were first-preference applications, and all 18 received offers. This suggests that while the school is popular among local families who put it first, it doesn't have a huge surplus of demand.
