About West Bridgford Infant School

West Bridgford Infant School is a state primary for children aged 4 to 7 in the Rushcliffe borough of Nottinghamshire. With 245 pupils on roll against a capacity of 255, it is essentially full, and the demand for places is intense. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 279 applications for 75 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.72 to one. Of those, 72 families listed it as their first preference, and 72 first-preference offers were made, meaning every child who put it first got in, but the sheer volume of total applications shows how sought-after this school is. Just 3.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average and a clear indicator of the largely affluent catchment. The school is non-religious, mixed-gender, and has no nursery or sixth form provision, so it is purely an infant school feeding into local junior schools.
