About Ings Farm Primary School

Ings Farm Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 48 first-preference applications for 48 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, meaning every family who put it first got a spot. The school was oversubscribed overall, receiving 63 applications for those 48 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.31. That level of demand suggests a solid local reputation, and it's backed up by parent sentiment: while the data doesn't include a specific parent-view recommendation percentage, the fact that all first-preference families were offered a place is a strong signal of satisfaction. The school is led by headteacher Tim Bethell and serves 463 pupils aged 3 to 11, which is above its official capacity of 412. It's a state-funded, mixed primary with no religious character, and it offers nursery provision for younger children.
