Hauxton Primary School
About Hauxton Primary School
Hauxton Primary School is a small state primary in South Cambridgeshire, currently teaching 75 pupils against a capacity of 105, meaning it operates well below its maximum intake. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% but still a significant minority within the school. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 19 applications for just 4 available places, with an oversubscription ratio of 4.75. All 4 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the overall numbers suggest that many families are keen to secure a spot here. The school is mixed, non-religious, and serves children from ages 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. Its headteacher is Chris Grey, and the school has a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has held consistently across its two most recent inspections.
