About Foxton Primary School

Foxton Primary School is a small state primary in South Cambridgeshire, currently home to 76 pupils against a capacity of 119, meaning there is room to grow. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 25%, which is notably higher than the national average of around 23% and suggests a more diverse socioeconomic intake than many local primaries. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 26 applications for just 10 places, with all 10 first-preference families offered a spot. That oversubscription ratio of 2.6 to 1 signals a school that local families are actively seeking out, despite its relatively small size. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and serves children from ages 5 to 11 under headteacher Janet Muir.
