About Braunston Church of England Primary School

Braunston Church of England Primary School is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 198 children against a capacity of 210. That leaves a small amount of headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 48 applications for 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1. 6, and made 29 offers to first-preference families. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 14. 6%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 13. 5% but not dramatically so, suggesting a broadly mixed catchment. Headteacher Lianna Willis leads a school that, based on its admission figures, has a solid local reputation — nearly every first-preference applicant secured a place, but the overall number of applications means some families will have missed out.
