About Abbots Ripton CofE Primary School

Abbots Ripton CofE Primary School sits in the Cambridgeshire village of Abbots Ripton, within the Huntingdonshire borough. It is a state-funded Church of England primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, with 99 children on roll against a capacity of 119. In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it places 1st out of 55 schools in Huntingdonshire, and 3rd overall in Cambridgeshire when compared with all 210 same-type schools. Its closest ranked peers in the LA are Histon and Impington Brook Primary School, Caldecote Primary School, and Great Abington Primary School. The school is notably oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 26 first-preference applications for just 16 places, with a total of 50 applications across all preferences — an oversubscription ratio of 3.13. This level of demand reflects its strong local reputation, particularly among families seeking a small, church-affiliated primary with a Good Ofsted rating and a clear upward trajectory from its previous Requires Improvement judgement.
