About Old Fletton Primary School
Old Fletton Primary School in Peterborough is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11 that is currently running above its official capacity, with 438 pupils against a published capacity of 420. The school serves a community with a notably high level of disadvantage: 37.7% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, well above the national average. Demand for places is strong — for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 96 applications for just 53 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.81, and all 46 first-preference applicants were offered a place. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Levy and has no religious character. It also offers nursery provision, making it a natural choice for families looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
