About Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School

Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School is a state primary in Brentwood, Essex, and the numbers suggest parents are broadly happy with what it offers. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 91% of the 57 respondents said they would recommend the school. That's a strong vote of confidence. The detail backs it up: 93% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 91% felt their child is safe. On behaviour, 86% agreed the school ensures pupils are well-behaved, and 89% felt concerns are dealt with properly. The school is also popular on the ground. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 34 applications for 18 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.89. Of those, 16 were first-preference applications, and all 16 received offers. So while it's not the most oversubscribed school in Essex, demand clearly outstrips supply, and the parent feedback suggests that demand is well-founded.
