Bishop Sutton Primary School
About Bishop Sutton Primary School
Bishop Sutton Primary School is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently operating below its full capacity of 210 with 171 children on roll. The school sits in the Bath and North East Somerset local authority, where 9.9% of its pupils are eligible for free school meals — a figure that sits below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake compared with many state schools nationally. Despite having room for more pupils, the school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 admissions cycle: it received 34 applications for 21 places, with 19 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.62, meaning for every place available, roughly 1.6 families wanted it. The school’s religious character is listed as “Does not apply,” so it is a community school without a faith-based admissions criteria. This combination of below-capacity numbers but strong local demand suggests a school that is popular within its immediate catchment but not yet stretched to its limits.
