About Seal Church of England Primary School

Seal Church of England Primary School in Sevenoaks is a state primary with a Church of England character that is clearly popular with local families. The school has a published capacity of 444 places and currently educates 385 pupils, leaving some physical room to grow, but the demand for places tells a different story. For the 2025/26 academic year, the school offered 43 total places and received 116 applications, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.7 applicants per place. Of those 116 applications, 35 were first-preference choices, and all 35 received an offer. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 22.3%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23.8%, suggesting the school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage. This context matters for parents weighing up the school's academic results, as the intake profile is more diverse than some of its local peers.
