About Manuden Primary School

Manuden Primary School sends a strong signal to parents through its admissions data: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 35 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 5. Seven of those applications were first-preference offers, meaning every family who put Manuden first secured a spot, but the overall demand is clearly high. The school is a small, state-funded primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with 109 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, so it is effectively full. Headteacher Andrew Price leads a school where only 1. 8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well below the national average, and the school has no nursery provision or sixth form. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent view score for this school, the oversubscription ratio alone suggests a strong local reputation.
