About Fletching Church of England Primary School

Fletching Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in the Wealden borough of East Sussex, with just 79 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105. That leaves around a quarter of its spaces empty, which is unusual for a popular village school. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 25.3%, well above the national average of roughly 23% and significantly higher than the East Sussex average of around 17%, suggesting the school serves a notably less affluent catchment than many of its local peers. Despite the spare capacity, demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 32 applications for just 12 places, with all 12 first-preference applicants offered a spot. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 2.67, meaning nearly three families applied for every place, though the fact that every first-preference child got in hints that the school is a realistic first choice for local families rather than a distant gamble.
