Longford Church of England Primary School

About Longford Church of England Primary School

Longford Church of England Primary School is a small village primary in Wiltshire, currently operating at just half its capacity with 45 pupils against a maximum of 90. That undersubscription is striking given the local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 18 applications for a single available place, making it heavily oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of 18 to 1. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 42.2%, which is significantly above the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a community with higher-than-average economic disadvantage. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, though the data does not specify any faith-based admissions criteria. The school is mixed, takes children from ages 4 to 11, and is led by headteacher Amanda Hodgson. Its small size means families are likely to find a close-knit environment, but the gap between capacity and actual pupil numbers raises questions about local demographic trends or parental preferences in the wider area.
