About Alveston CofE Primary School

Alveston CofE Primary School is a Church of England state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, located in the Stratford-on-Avon borough of Warwickshire. The school is currently full to its capacity of 210 pupils, and demand is notably high: for the 2025/26 admissions cycle, there were 105 total applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.5. Of those, 42 were first-preference applications, and only 30 first-preference offers were made, meaning a significant number of families who wanted a place here were turned away. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13.3 per cent, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 12 per cent, suggesting a broadly representative intake for the local area. The school’s religious character as Church of England may appeal to families seeking a faith-based setting, though the data does not indicate any specific admissions criteria beyond standard state school procedures.
