About Binfield Church of England Primary School

Binfield Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 117 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.95, meaning nearly two families applied for every spot. Of those, 50 put the school as their first preference, and 48 were offered a place. While the Department for Education’s Parent View data isn’t included here, the sheer demand suggests a strong reputation in the community. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a Church of England character. It currently has 424 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 420, and a very low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at just 4.7%. Headteacher Suzanna Featherstone-Wright leads a school that, in its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, was judged to remain Good, a notable improvement from its previous rating of Requires Improvement back in 2012.
