About Marston Moreteyne VC School

Marston Moreteyne VC School is a Church of England primary for children aged 3 to 9, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. With 645 pupils on roll against a capacity of 700, the school is running close to full, and the demand is evident in its admission data for the 2025/26 intake. The school offered 104 places in total, receiving 138 applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.33. Of those, 98 first-preference families were offered a place, meaning that while the school is oversubscribed, a strong majority of those who put it first were successful. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 12.5%, which is below the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively affluent intake compared with the wider population. This is a school that serves a broad community but with a noticeably lower-than-average level of economic disadvantage among its families.
