Singleton CofE Primary School

About Singleton CofE Primary School

Singleton CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Chichester, running at full capacity with exactly 70 pupils on roll. That’s a snug fit for a school that clearly has local pull: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 19 applications for just 9 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.11. Eight of those applications were first-preference, and the school offered eight first-preference places, suggesting most families who put it top got in, but competition remains stiff. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 15.7%, which is a touch above the national average for primary schools and gives the intake a slightly more diverse socioeconomic mix than some of its West Sussex neighbours. With a Church of England character and a headteacher in Theresa Smyth, the school draws from a local community that values its small-scale, faith-linked setting. That full-to-the-brim roll and the waiting list signal a school that local families are actively choosing, not just defaulting to.
