Chaloner Primary School
About Chaloner Primary School
Chaloner Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 22 out of 23 places offered to first-preference applicants in the 2025/26 admissions round, and a total of 30 applications for those places. This gives the school an oversubscription ratio of 1.3, meaning for every place available, more than one family wanted it. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high first-preference rate is a strong signal that those who know the school best are keen to secure a place. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 2 to 11, with a nursery provision on site. It is non-religious and is led by headteacher Mary Parker. With 247 pupils against a capacity of 290, the school is not at full capacity, but the oversubscription in the main intake year suggests demand is concentrated at the entry point.
