Lavant Primary School

About Lavant Primary School

Lavant Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Chichester, West Sussex, with 108 pupils against a capacity of 112 — so it’s running very close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 11.1%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake. Demand is strikingly high: for the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 80 applications for just 15 places, an oversubscription ratio of 5.33. Of those, 21 families put it as their first preference, and only 14 first-preference offers were made. That level of competition means most applicants will be disappointed, and it signals a school with a strong local reputation. The gender mix is mixed, and the age range runs from 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision. The headteacher is Adrian King, who leads a team serving a community that clearly values this school’s place-based appeal.
