About Chantry Primary Academy

Chantry Primary Academy is a popular choice among Luton families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 106 applications for just 61 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.74. Of those, 57 families put it as their first preference, and 57 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who wanted it most got a spot. While the school doesn’t publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand speaks for itself. The school is led by headteacher Noshin Hussain and caters for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site. It’s a mixed, non-religious state primary with a capacity of 710 pupils and currently 641 on roll. A third of pupils (33.4%) are eligible for free school meals, reflecting a diverse intake.
