Albury Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School
About Albury Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School
Albury Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is a small, popular village school where demand far outstrips supply. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received nine applications for just two available places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4. 5. All of those places went to first-preference families, which suggests that those who want a place here tend to rank it as their top choice. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, a grade it has held across both its most recent inspections. In its 2023 ungraded inspection, inspectors confirmed the school remains Good, and the previous graded inspection in 2014 also rated overall effectiveness as Good, with leadership and management and early years provision all judged Good. With only 54 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90, the school is clearly operating well below its physical limit, but the admissions data tells a different story: it is heavily oversubscribed, and securing a place is extremely competitive.
