About Chepping View Primary Academy
Chepping View Primary Academy is clearly a school that local families are keen to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 170 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.83. Of those, 75 were first-preference applications, and 59 first-preference offers were made, which tells you that most families who put it top of their list got a spot, but competition is real. The school is oversubscribed, and that kind of demand is often a strong signal from parents that they’re happy with what’s on offer. While there’s no formal parent view survey data in the most recent inspection, the sheer volume of applications suggests a solid reputation in the local community. Headteacher Kirsty Elliott leads a school that is at full capacity with 423 pupils against a stated capacity of 420, so it’s running tight on space.
