About All Saints' Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Dovercourt

All Saints' Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School in Dovercourt is a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11, currently home to 192 pupils against a capacity of 210. That leaves a small buffer of 18 places, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 41 applications for just 17 places, with 16 of those offers going to first-preference families. The oversubscription ratio sits at 2.41, meaning more than two families compete for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 32.8%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a community with above-average levels of economic disadvantage. Headteacher Samantha Moseley leads a Church of England school in the Tendring borough of Essex, and the school's religious character may appeal to local families seeking a faith-based education within the state system.
