About Great Rollright Church of England (Aided) Primary School

Great Rollright Church of England (Aided) Primary School is a small village primary in West Oxfordshire, currently operating at full capacity with 107 pupils against a published capacity of 105. The school serves a relatively affluent catchment, with just 7.5% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well below the national average for state primaries. Demand is strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 56 applications for 15 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.73 to one. Of those, 17 families put it as their first preference, and 14 were offered places. The school’s Church of England foundation likely adds to its appeal in this rural corner of the Cotswolds, where the nearest outstanding-rated primary, Holy Trinity Catholic School in Chipping Norton, is 4.2 km away. Headteacher Michelle Hastings leads a mixed-gender, non-selective primary for children aged 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
