Questions about Honeywell Infant School

How far away do you need to live to get into Honeywell Infant School?

In 2026, the last place offered under the distance criterion went to a child living 1,071 m (0.67 miles) away. In the five years with a distance cut-off (2022 to 2026), it ranged from 323 m (0.20 miles) (2022) to 1,411 m (0.88 miles) (2024). Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.

Do siblings get priority at Honeywell Infant School?

Yes. Under the 2026 admission rules, children with a brother or sister at the school get priority after looked-after and previously looked-after children, ahead of children admitted on distance. In 2026, 32 of the 90 places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.

How many applications does Honeywell Infant School get?

In 2026, Honeywell Infant School received 392 applications for 90 Reception places: about 4.4 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.

What are my chances of getting into Honeywell Infant School?

It depends mostly on how far away you live, unless you have a sibling at Honeywell Infant School or another priority. For a family applying on distance: living within 323 m (0.20 miles) would have got a place in all five years we have figures for, and living more than 1,411 m (0.88 miles) away, in none of them. This is what happened in past years, not a promise. Our Shortlist replays your own address against each year.

Is Honeywell Infant School oversubscribed?

Yes, in 2026 places ran out: the last place under the distance criterion went to a child living 1,071 m (0.67 miles) away. It had 392 applications for 90 places, counting every preference families named.

Is Honeywell Infant School’s catchment getting smaller?

Honeywell Infant School has no fixed catchment area: places on distance go to the families living closest, so the cut-off moves each year. The distance cut-off grew from 780 m (0.48 miles) in 2025 to 1,071 m (0.67 miles) in 2026. It depends on how many families apply and how many places go to siblings, so one year’s change doesn’t say what happens next.

What was Honeywell Infant School’s latest Ofsted inspection result?

At its graded inspection on 10 January 2023, Ofsted’s overall judgement of Honeywell Infant School was Good. From Ofsted’s data as at 30 September 2026. The full report is on Ofsted’s website.

When do you apply to Honeywell Infant School for a Reception place in September 2027?
