About Whybridge Infant School

Whybridge Infant School sits within the London Borough of Havering, a local authority where ten of its 60 primary schools hold an Outstanding Ofsted rating. The school itself is rated Good, and while it does not feature among the top three ranked peers in the area — those being Upminster Junior School, Nelmes Primary School, and Hacton Primary School — it serves a distinct role as an infant school for children aged four to seven. For families seeking an Outstanding alternative nearby, Scotts Primary School is 1.9 kilometres away. Whybridge is a state-funded, mixed-gender school with no religious character, led by headteacher Susannah Longhurst. It is at full capacity with 270 pupils, and 18.1 per cent of its students are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools. The school’s most recent ungraded inspection in September 2023 confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least its previous graded inspection in 2014.
