About Shrivenham Church of England School

Shrivenham Church of England School is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it’s currently a popular choice among local families. The school has a published capacity of 315 pupils but is operating well below that with just 244 on roll, meaning there’s plenty of physical space. However, demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 45 applications for just 28 places, with 27 of those coming as first preferences. That gives an oversubscription ratio of 1.61, so it’s not the most competitive in the area, but you’d still want to make it your top choice to be safe. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 17.2%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools and suggests a reasonably mixed intake in terms of socio-economic background. As a Church of England school, it has a religious character, though the data doesn’t specify whether this influences admissions criteria.
