About Danehill Church of England Primary School

Danehill Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Wealden, East Sussex, and it is clearly popular with local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 21 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.1. Of those 21 applications, nine were first-preference choices, and the school made offers to all nine of those first-preference families. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though it is worth noting that the school does not publish a parent-view survey result, so we cannot report a specific recommendation percentage. The school is led by headteacher Katie Jones and has a Church of England religious character. It currently has 91 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, meaning there is some physical room to grow, but the oversubscription data shows that securing a place is competitive.
