About Long Itchington CofE Academy

Long Itchington CofE Academy is a Church of England primary school in Stratford-on-Avon that parents clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 45 applications for just 25 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.8. Of those 45 applications, 24 were first-preference choices, and 24 first-preference offers were made, meaning every family who put the school first secured a spot. This level of demand suggests the school holds a strong local reputation, even though its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 rated it Requires Improvement across every category, including overall effectiveness, behaviour and attitudes, and leadership. That rating was a downgrade from its previous Good inspection in 2014, so the school is currently working through a period of change under headteacher Rebecca Richards.
