About Chantry Community Primary School

Parents considering Chantry Community Primary School in East Sussex will find a school that is clearly in high demand. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 65 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.25. All 17 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for families who live close enough to make it their top choice, the school is a realistic option. The school is led by headteacher Rebecca Reed and currently has 205 pupils on roll, just under its capacity of 210. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view survey for this school, the strong application numbers and high first-preference offer rate are a practical signal of local confidence. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2023, confirmed that it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently since at least 2013.
