About Yaxley Infant School

Yaxley Infant School is a state primary in Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, catering for children aged 5 to 7. With 159 pupils on roll against a capacity of 180, the school is not at full capacity, but demand tells a different story. For the 2025/26 admissions cycle, the school received 54 total applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.86. Of those, 28 were first-preference applications, and 28 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put it first got a place, but competition for remaining spots was stiff. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20.1%, which is above the national primary average and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. This intake profile, combined with strong local demand, paints a picture of a school that is popular within its immediate area, particularly among families who value a smaller, infant-only setting.
