About Harvington CofE First School

Harvington CofE First School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 57 applications for just 31 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.84. Of those, 31 families put it as their first preference, and 26 of those were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Wychavon area. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the oversubscription figures alone tell you that securing a place is competitive. The school is a Church of England first school for children aged 3 to 10, with nursery provision on site. It is led by headteacher Tom Holdstock and currently has 175 pupils on roll, just shy of its capacity of 180. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 9.7%, which is relatively low and reflects the largely affluent catchment.
