About St John's Mead Church of England Primary School

St John's Mead Church of England Primary School is clearly popular with local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 88 applications for just 43 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.05. Of those, 42 families put it as their first preference, and 41 of those were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage in its data. The school is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a Church of England character, and is led by headteacher Dean Hudd. It currently has 333 pupils on roll, slightly above its official capacity of 315, which may explain the competition for places. The school also offers nursery provision, making it a natural choice for families looking for a single setting from early years through to Year 6.
