Farnborough Grange Nursery & Infant Community School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 37 families put Farnborough Grange Nursery & Infant Community School as their first choice and 56 named it as one of their preferences, for 38 places offered.
