About Thames Ditton Infant School

Thames Ditton Infant School is a state primary for children aged five to seven, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school currently has 217 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it is operating slightly above its official limit. Demand is exceptionally high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 258 applications for just 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4. 3 to one. Of those applicants, 82 put the school as their first preference, and only 60 first-preference offers were made. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is just 0. 5%, which is notably low compared with the national average of around 23% and suggests a relatively affluent catchment area. The school is non-denominational and mixed, and it sits within the Surrey local authority in the Elmbridge borough.
