Eynesbury CofE C Primary School

About Eynesbury CofE C Primary School

Eynesbury CofE C Primary School sits within Cambridgeshire’s Huntingdonshire borough, a Church of England state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11. In the local authority’s primary school rankings, it places 103rd out of 210 schools of the same type, placing it just below the midpoint. The top-performing peers in the area include Histon and Impington Brook Primary School, Caldecote Primary School, and Abbots Ripton CofE Primary School, all of which score higher on the ranking metric. The school’s own ranking score of 58 places it in the bottom 50% nationally, though this single metric doesn’t tell the full story of its day-to-day provision. With 221 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is slightly oversubscribed, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in July 2024 confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspection in 2018.

Academically, Eynesbury’s Key Stage 2 results for 2023/24 show a mixed picture. The proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined was 58%, exactly matching the Cambridgeshire local authority average of 58%. Reading was a relative strength, with 87% of pupils meeting the expected standard and 39% reaching the higher standard, while maths saw 71% at expected and 23% at higher. Writing and maths combined with reading at the higher level was lower, at 10%. Average scaled scores were 108 in reading and 104 in maths, both above the national benchmark of 100. Progress scores are not available in the data, so it’s not possible to say how much value the school adds from pupils’ starting points. The school’s Ofsted breakdown from its 2024 ungraded inspection rated leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness all as Good, with no areas requiring improvement flagged.

The school offers a solid range of facilities including an ICT suite, music rooms, a sports hall, gymnasium, playing fields, art studios, and a chapel, reflecting its Church of England foundation. Sports provision covers gymnastics, dance, swimming, netball, football, and athletics, while extracurricular clubs include choir, science club, coding, drama, and chess. For pupils with additional needs, the school supports specific learning difficulties including dyslexia, moderate learning difficulty, speech, language and communication needs, and multi-sensory impairment. Admissions for 2025/26 show the school is oversubscribed, with 38 total applications for 22 places and all 22 first-preference applicants receiving offers, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.73. This suggests strong local demand, particularly from families who value a Church of England primary with a broad range of facilities and a Good Ofsted rating, though those outside the catchment may find places competitive.
