About Dennington Church of England Primary School

Dennington Church of England Primary School is a small village school in East Suffolk that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 19 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.73. All 11 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, families who put it first stand a good chance. The school has a total capacity of 77 pupils and currently has 72 on roll, so it is running very close to full. ParentView data is not available in the school's records, but the oversubscription figures alone indicate a strong local reputation. The school is a Church of England primary, which may be a draw for families seeking a faith-based setting, though the data does not specify any particular admissions criteria beyond standard state school arrangements.
