About Cavendish Church of England Primary School
Cavendish Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in West Suffolk that currently draws more interest than it can accommodate. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 12 applications for just 4 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3 to 1. All 4 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is strong, families who put it first have a reasonable chance of success. The school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, so there is no direct survey data on how current families rate their experience. However, the oversubscription figures indicate that the school retains a positive local reputation despite its most recent Ofsted inspection rating of Inadequate, which was published in June 2024 following an inspection in April of that year.
