About Long Lane Primary School

Long Lane Primary School in West Berkshire is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has 210 pupils on roll against a capacity of 218, so it is running very close to full. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 73 applications for just 30 places, making it oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 2. 43. All 30 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is high, those who put it first have a strong chance. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 9%, which is below the national average for primary schools, indicating a relatively affluent intake compared with the wider population. The school has no religious character and does not offer nursery provision, so it serves families looking for a straightforward primary route from Reception to Year 6.
