About Felton Church of England Primary School

Felton Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Northumberland, currently teaching 97 pupils against a capacity of 105, meaning it is not quite full but running close to its limit. The school serves a mixed intake, with nursery provision available for children from age three. Demand is clear: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 17 applications for just 11 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.55, and all 11 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That suggests a locally popular school where getting in is competitive but not impossible for families who live nearby. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is not given in the data, so it is not possible to compare directly with the national average, but the school’s Church of England character may attract families seeking a faith-based setting. With a headteacher in Emma Lucas, the school operates within the Northumberland local authority, where 9 out of 127 primary schools hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted.
