About Eastcombe Primary School

Eastcombe Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 23 applications for just 6 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.83. Five of those applications were first-preference choices, and all five received offers, suggesting that those who put the school at the top of their list are very likely to get in. The school is a small, state-funded primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with just 51 pupils on roll against a capacity of 77, so class sizes are small and places are fiercely contested. While the Parent View data isn't included here, the high demand alone signals strong local confidence. The school has held a Good rating from Ofsted across both its most recent inspections, with the latest graded inspection in 2023 giving it Good marks for overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership and management. Notably, personal development was rated Outstanding, which points to a real focus on building character and resilience.
