About Chew Magna Primary School

Chew Magna Primary School is a small state primary in Bath and North East Somerset that clearly commands strong local loyalty. For entry in 2025/26, the school received 35 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.18, meaning more than three families applied for every spot. Nine of those applications were first-preference choices, and nine first-preference offers were made, suggesting that almost every family who put it top got in, but that competition for those places is fierce. The school has a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has held across both its most recent inspections, including the graded inspection in September 2023. With just 95 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, it is operating near full, and the headteacher is Annie Spencer. The school does not have a nursery or sixth form, and it is non-denominational in religious character.
