Morgans Primary School & Nursery
About Morgans Primary School & Nursery
Morgans Primary School & Nursery in East Hertfordshire is a mixed state primary for ages 3 to 11, currently home to 335 pupils against a capacity of 500. That leaves a fair amount of physical room, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 93 applications for just 57 places, with 33 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at 1.63, meaning nearly two families compete for every spot. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17.9%, which is worth noting against the national primary average of around 23% — so the intake is slightly less disadvantaged than the country as a whole, though still a meaningful minority. The school does not have a religious character, and its nursery provision means children can join from age three. Headteacher Helen Melidoro leads a setting that, based on the numbers, feels popular without being impossibly oversubscribed.
