About Kingham Primary School

Kingham Primary School is a state primary in West Oxfordshire that is comfortably full but clearly in high demand. With 224 pupils against a capacity of 236, it is operating near its limit, and the oversubscription figures tell a striking story. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 84 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.9. Even among first-preference families, there were 37 applications for those 29 spots, meaning a significant number of local parents who put Kingham first were disappointed. The school’s intake is notably less disadvantaged than the national average, with just 5.2% of pupils eligible for free school meals, compared to a typical primary figure of around 23% nationally. This is a school that draws from a relatively affluent catchment, and the combination of strong local reputation and limited places creates a genuinely competitive admissions environment for families in the area.
