About Archbishop Cranmer Church of England Academy

Archbishop Cranmer Church of England Academy is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 55 applications for just 29 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 1. 9. Every one of those 29 places went to a first-preference applicant, which suggests parents who want a spot here tend to make it their top choice. The school is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with a Church of England character, and it operates below its full capacity of 210, currently teaching 197 children. Headteacher Melanie Stevens leads a school where 13. 7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, a figure that gives some indication of the catchment’s mix. While the Department for Education no longer publishes the Parent View survey results in this dataset, the combination of strong demand and high first-preference offer rate is a clear signal of local satisfaction.
