About Little Dewchurch CofE Primary School

Little Dewchurch CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Herefordshire, with 55 pupils on roll against a capacity of 63, meaning it operates at around 87% capacity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 23.6%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests a catchment with above-average levels of disadvantage. Despite this, the school is clearly popular with local families: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 11 applications for just 5 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.2. All 5 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the remaining 6 families who applied will have been disappointed. This level of demand, combined with the school's relatively small size, means that securing a place is competitive, particularly for those living outside the immediate catchment area.
