About Primrose Hill Church of England Primary Academy

Primrose Hill Church of England Primary Academy in the Forest of Dean is running at full capacity with 210 pupils on roll, exactly matching its school capacity. This is a school in demand: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 74 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.47. Of those, 30 families put it as their first preference, and 29 received offers. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20%, which is notably higher than the national average for primary schools and suggests a genuinely mixed intake in terms of socio-economic background. As a Church of England school, it serves a local community that values its religious character, though the data doesn't specify any faith-based admissions criteria. Headteacher Emma Mignaud leads a school that, despite being full, clearly attracts more interest than it can accommodate.
