About Hanborough Manor CofE School

Hanborough Manor CofE School is a Church of England primary in West Oxfordshire that currently teaches 200 pupils, just shy of its 210-capacity figure. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 14%, which is broadly in line with the national average for primary schools. Demand for places is notably high: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 52 applications for 19 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.74, and all 19 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This suggests a school that is popular within its immediate community but not so oversubscribed that local families cannot secure a place if they prioritise it. The school’s Church of England character is reflected in its on-site chapel, and the headteacher, Sarah Nickelson, leads a mixed-gender, state-funded primary for children aged 4 to 11.
