About Whitehorse Manor Infant School

Whitehorse Manor Infant School is a popular choice among Croydon families, and the numbers tell a clear story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 294 applications for just 117 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.51. Of those, 102 families put it as their first preference, and all of them were offered a place. That level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth and a reputation that resonates locally. The school is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Nicola Hall. It’s a mixed school with no religious character, and currently has 377 pupils on roll, just shy of its 386 capacity. While the Parent View data isn’t included here, the oversubscription figures alone indicate that many parents see it as a solid option for their child’s early years.
