About Luton Primary School

Luton Primary School is a large state primary in Medway, currently educating 651 pupils against a capacity of 630, meaning it is operating slightly above its official limit. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 48% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average of around 23% and significantly higher than the Medway local authority average of roughly 18%. Demand for places is strong, with the school oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake: it received 75 total applications for 34 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.21, and all 34 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. This suggests a school that is popular within its immediate catchment, particularly among families who prioritise it as their first choice. The school is mixed, non-religious, and takes children from age 3 through 11, with nursery provision available.
