West Leigh Infant School
About West Leigh Infant School
West Leigh Infant School serves just 137 pupils in the 5–7 age range, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across every category, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and early years provision. That is a solid result, but it is worth noting that the school previously held an Outstanding rating from its 2009 inspection, when leadership and management and early years provision were both judged as outstanding. In terms of headline metrics, the school does not publish Key Stage 2 results because its pupils leave at age 7, so there is no Progress 8 or KS2 SATs data to compare against the North Somerset LA average of 61 for primary schools. That makes direct academic benchmarking tricky, but the school’s oversubscription figures tell their own story: for 2025/26, it received 66 applications for 40 places, with 39 of those going to first-preference families, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 65. That level of demand suggests local parents see real value here, even without the usual exam-based yardsticks.
