About Silverstone Church of England Primary School

Silverstone Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 68 applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.34, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. Of those, 28 offers went to first-preference applicants, with 29 first-preference applications in total, so almost every family who put it top got in. That kind of demand usually reflects strong word-of-mouth, and the school’s size — 237 pupils against a capacity of 360 — suggests there’s room to grow, but it’s already well-regarded enough to be oversubscribed. Headteacher James Bloomfield leads a Church of England primary in West Northamptonshire, and the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 confirmed it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspection in 2013 and the earlier one in 2010. The ungraded visit in 2022 simply reaffirmed that standard.
