About Kingswood Primary School and Nursery

Kingswood Primary School and Nursery in Basildon is a state-funded mixed primary for ages 3 to 11 that currently has 446 pupils on roll, exceeding its official capacity of 420. That overspill is reflected in its admissions data for the 2025/26 intake: the school received 149 applications for just 60 places, making it significantly oversubscribed. Of those, 54 families put it as their first preference, and only 48 received first-preference offers. The oversubscription ratio of 2.48 per place signals strong local demand. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15.5 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools (typically around 23 per cent) and suggests a relatively less deprived intake compared with many schools nationally. The school has a nursery provision, so children can join from age three, and it operates under a non-religious character with no formal sixth form.
