Little Thetford CofE Primary School
About Little Thetford CofE Primary School
Little Thetford CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in East Cambridgeshire, currently home to 88 pupils against a capacity of 105, meaning there is some headroom in the building but demand is clearly strong. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 25 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 78 to one, and all 9 first-preference offers were taken up. That level of competition suggests local families see it as a desirable option. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 13. 6%, which is slightly above the national primary average of around 12% but still relatively modest, indicating a broadly mixed intake. As a voluntary-aided Church of England school, it has a religious character that may appeal to families looking for a faith-based setting, though the data does not specify any particular admissions criteria beyond the standard primary process.
