About Selsted Church of England Primary School

Selsted Church of England Primary School is a small state primary in Folkestone and Hythe, with 97 pupils against a capacity of 105, so it runs close to full. Its free school meals rate of 13.4% is slightly above the national primary average of around 12%, suggesting a modestly higher-than-average level of disadvantage among its intake. The school is clearly in demand: for its 12 places in the 2025/26 admission round, it received 41 applications, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 3.42 applicants per place. Of those, only eight were first-preference offers, meaning most families who put it top got in, but competition is real. The school is Church of England, which may shape its intake, though the data doesn't specify any faith-based admissions criteria. It's a mixed, non-selective school for ages 4 to 11, with no nursery or sixth form provision.
