About Lift Ashingdon

Lift Ashingdon is a state primary school in Rochford, Essex, that is running very close to full capacity with 209 pupils against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9. 1 per cent, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively advantaged intake compared with many schools in the area. Demand for places is notably high: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 122 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4. 07. Of those applicants, 32 put the school as their first preference, and 28 first-preference offers were made. This level of competition indicates that the school is a popular choice among local families, and securing a place is far from guaranteed. The school is mixed, non-denominational, and caters for children aged 5 to 11, with no nursery provision on site.
