About Elm CofE Primary School

Elm CofE Primary School sits in the Fenland area of Cambridgeshire, a Church of England state primary for children aged 2 to 11. It ranks second out of 28 primary schools in Fenland, placing it in the top 25 per cent nationally. The school’s closest local peers include Histon and Impington Brook Primary School, Caldecote Primary School, and Abbots Ripton CofE Primary School, all of which score highly on the same ranking metric. With 228 pupils against a capacity of 244, the school is comfortably sized but clearly popular: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 40 applications for 26 places, and all 26 first-preference families were offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 1. 54 suggests a school that local parents are keen to get into, and the fact that every first-preference applicant secured a place points to a catchment that works well for many families in the area.
