About Ashdon Primary School

Just over 90% of parents would recommend Ashdon Primary School to other families, according to the most recent parent view data. That strong endorsement is backed up by the school’s admission figures: for the 2025/26 intake, Ashdon received 32 applications for just 7 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4. 57 to one. Only five of those applications were first-preference choices, which suggests that while the school is popular locally, many families also put it as a back-up option. Still, with a total capacity of 105 and only 54 pupils on roll, there is plenty of room for growth. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Headteacher Marne Reynecke-Raybould leads a small, close-knit community in the Uttlesford borough of Essex, where the school holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022.
