Infant school

Ages 4–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Glenfield Infant School is an infant school for pupils aged 4–7. Pupils move on to a separate junior or middle school before Year 6, so the school does not enter pupils for the Key Stage 2 SATs and has no KS2 results to publish.

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.

Southampton does not publish how far from the school the last child offered a Reception place lived, so there is no cut-off distance to show for Glenfield Infant School. Ask the school or the council how places were allocated this year.

About Glenfield Infant School

Glenfield Infant School is a primary school in Southampton, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 260 pupils aged 4 to 7 attend the school.

Competition for places is real here - 89% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (63 first choices for 58 places). Overall pupil absence was 5.2%. There are about 19.6 pupils per teacher. Glenfield Infant School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
