About West Byfleet Infant School

West Byfleet Infant School is a state primary in Surrey for children aged five to seven, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has 260 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, meaning it is running very close to full. The demand is striking: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 226 applications for just 90 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 51. Of those, 82 were first-preference applications, and only 81 first-preference offers were made, so even families who put it top of their list faced competition. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 7. 3%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools (around 23%), suggesting the intake draws from a relatively affluent catchment. The school is non-religious and mixed, with headteacher Stacey Clarke leading a team that has kept the school full and in high demand.
