Hennock Community Primary School
About Hennock Community Primary School
Parents considering Hennock Community Primary School will find a small, popular village school with a clear vote of confidence from local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 12 applications for just 9 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1.33 applicants per place. All 9 first-preference offers were taken up, suggesting that those who live closest or prioritise the school are rarely disappointed. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2024, confirmed it remains a Good school, though inspectors noted some concerns that will be followed up. This marks a significant improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2015, when the school was rated Requires Improvement. Leadership and management, along with early years provision, were both judged Good at that time, and the school has held its Good rating across both its recent inspections.
