About Stocksbridge Nursery Infant School

Parents considering Stocksbridge Nursery Infant School will find strong signals of satisfaction in the latest Parent View responses. Of the 28 families who responded during the period from September 2024 to September 2025, 89% said they would recommend the school to other parents. That confidence is backed up by specific feedback: 93% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 67 applications for just 39 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.72. All 38 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that while the school is in demand, being a first-choice applicant has historically been a strong route in. The school is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Jane Townsend.
