About Britannia Primary School and Nursery

Britannia Primary School and Nursery is a state-funded mixed primary in Ipswich that is currently running above its official capacity, with 648 pupils on roll against a published capacity of 630. The school serves a community where 13.9 per cent of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is slightly below the national primary average of around 23 per cent, suggesting a relatively less disadvantaged intake than many schools nationally. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 121 applications for 65 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.86, and made 63 offers to first-preference families. That means only about half of families who put Britannia first were successful, so it is a school where getting a place is competitive. The school has a nursery provision, which may help some families secure a feeder route into reception.
