Hatton Park Primary School
About Hatton Park Primary School
Hatton Park Primary School in South Cambridgeshire is a state primary for children aged 4 to 11, and it is a school that local families clearly want to get into. With 415 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is essentially full. The demand is evident from the 2025/26 admissions data: the school received 84 applications for just 39 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.15 applicants per place. Of those, 37 were first-preference applications, and exactly 37 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put it first got a spot, but there was no room for anyone else. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 10.4%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake. The school is led by headteacher John Canavan and has no religious character.
