About Shalfleet Church of England Primary School

Shalfleet Church of England Primary School is a state primary on the Isle of Wight that is currently full to the brim, with its 189 pupils exactly matching its official capacity. The school serves a community where 13. 2% of pupils qualify for free school meals, a figure that sits slightly below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively mixed intake in terms of economic background. Demand for places is clear: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 29 applications for just 23 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1. 26 applicants per spot. All 23 first-preference families were offered a place, which indicates that while the school is popular locally, it is not so oversubscribed that it becomes a gamble for families who list it as their top choice. The school is mixed-gender and Church of England in character, with headteacher Elizabeth Grainger at the helm, and it caters for children from age 0 through to 11, though it does not offer nursery provision on site.
