About Hextable Primary School

Hextable Primary School is a state-funded, mixed primary in Sevenoaks, Kent, and it’s a school that families clearly want to get into. With 614 pupils on roll against a capacity of 630, it’s running very close to full, and the demand is tangible: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 173 applications for 89 places, making it officially oversubscribed. Of those, 85 were first-preference applications, and 79 first-preference offers were made, meaning roughly 93% of families who put it first got a spot. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.94, so competition is real but not extreme. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 20.4%, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests a genuinely mixed intake in terms of household income. That’s a meaningful data point for parents weighing up how diverse or representative a school’s community might be.
