About Dinting Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Dinting Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is a small, state-funded primary in High Peak, and the numbers suggest it is a school that local families actively seek out. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 50 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5. 56 — meaning more than five families applied for every available spot. All nine places went to first-preference applicants, which indicates strong parental confidence. The school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, but the demand alone tells a story. With 121 pupils on roll against a capacity of 182, the school is not at full capacity, yet it remains heavily oversubscribed, likely because its Church of England character and small size appeal to families who want a close-knit, faith-based primary experience. The headteacher is Lynn Elliott, and the school serves children aged 4 to 11.
