About Upminster Infant School

Upminster Infant School is a state primary for children aged five to seven, and it is very much in demand. With 267 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, the school is essentially full. The real signal of its popularity comes from the admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: there were 268 total applications for 89 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.01. Even among first-preference applicants, 106 families put it top of their list, and only 89 of those could be offered a place. The school serves a relatively affluent intake — just 2.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23%. That said, the school is not selective and its demographic profile reflects the local area of Havering rather than any particular admissions policy.
