Infant school

Ages 5–7

Key Stage 2 performance

Folly Hill Infant Academy is an infant school for pupils aged 5–7. 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.

About Folly Hill Infant Academy

Folly Hill Infant Academy is a primary school in Farnham, Surrey, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. Around 68 pupils aged 5 to 7 attend the school.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Folly Hill Infant Academy their first choice was offered one of its 16 Reception places.

Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Folly Hill Infant Academy 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.
