About Martlesham Primary Academy

Martlesham Primary Academy is a small state primary in East Suffolk, currently home to 116 pupils against a capacity of 140, meaning it has room to grow. The school serves a community with above-average economic need: 26.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national primary average of around 23.8%. That context makes the school’s popularity all the more notable. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 25 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.27. All 11 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with more than double the number of total applications, demand clearly outstrips supply. The school is non-denominational and co-educational, taking children from age 4 to 11. Headteacher Emma Churchman leads a team that has seen the school improve significantly in recent years.
