About Slindon CofE Primary School

Slindon CofE Primary School enjoys strong backing from its parent community, with 88% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school to other parents. That survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, drew 17 responses and showed particularly high satisfaction around happiness and safety: 94% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 academic year, Slindon received 26 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.36. Eight of those applications were first-preference choices, and all eight received offers. The school’s Church of England character and its setting in the village of Slindon, within the Arun borough of West Sussex, clearly appeal to families looking for a small, community-focused primary with a strong sense of belonging.
