Ickworth Park Primary School
About Ickworth Park Primary School
Ickworth Park Primary School in West Suffolk is a mixed state primary for children aged 5 to 11, currently home to 197 pupils against a capacity of 210. That leaves a small amount of headroom, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 51 applications for just 19 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 68. All 19 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, meaning families who put it top of their list were successful, but anyone ranking it lower faced stiff competition. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 11. 7 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake compared with many Suffolk primaries. The school does not have a religious character, so admissions are not tied to faith criteria, and it operates as a standard community state school under Suffolk local authority.
