About Ewyas Harold Primary School

Ewyas Harold Primary School is a small state primary in Herefordshire where demand from local families slightly outstrips supply. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 12 applications for 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.33, and all 9 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This suggests that while the school is popular enough to fill its places, it is not fiercely competitive, and most families who put it first get in. The school does not publish a parent view survey or a recommend percentage, so there is no direct measure of how many current parents would endorse it. However, the fact that every first-preference family secured a place indicates a relatively smooth admissions process for those who live close enough or meet the criteria. With 102 pupils on roll against a capacity of 140, there is also some spare room, which may appeal to families moving into the area mid-year or those who prefer a less crowded setting.
