About Duxford Church of England Community Primary School

Duxford Church of England Community Primary School is a small village primary with 158 pupils on roll, well below its capacity of 240. That spare capacity is partly explained by its intake: for the 2025/26 school year, the school received 24 applications for 15 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.6 applicants per place. All 15 first-preference families were offered a spot, so while demand is healthy, it is not intense. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 14.6%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 13% but not dramatically so. The school serves a mixed demographic in South Cambridgeshire, a generally affluent area, and its Church of England character is reflected in facilities like a chapel on site. With a headteacher listed as Laura Johnston and Sarah Medley, the school is co-educational and takes children from age 4 to 11, with no nursery provision.
