About Ernesford Grange Primary School

Ernesford Grange Primary School in Coventry is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has a capacity of 500 pupils and currently enrols 468, so it is running close to full. The demand is evident from its admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 132 applications for just 60 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.2 to one. Of those, 65 were first-preference applications, and 58 first-preference offers were made, meaning most families who wanted it got their top choice, but many others did not. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 10.6 per cent, which is notably lower than the national primary average of around 23 per cent, suggesting the school draws from a relatively less deprived catchment. The school is non-religious and mixed, and its headteacher is Ian Taylor.
