Kennett Primary School
About Kennett Primary School
Kennett Primary School is a small state primary in East Cambridgeshire, currently home to 115 pupils against a capacity of 210, meaning it is operating at just over half its potential size. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 8. 7%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, indicating a relatively advantaged intake. Despite the spare capacity, local demand is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 50 applications for 15 places, with 21 of those as first preferences, making it officially oversubscribed with a ratio of 3. 33 applicants per place. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 2 to 11, though it does not offer a nursery provision. Headteacher Scott Horsley leads a team that has maintained a Good rating from Ofsted across both its graded inspections, with the most recent ungraded inspection in March 2024 confirming the school remains Good.
