About St Luke's CofE Primary School
Parents considering St Luke's CofE Primary School will find strong signals that it's a popular choice locally. The school is heavily oversubscribed, with 179 applications for just 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 5.97. Of those 179 applications, 40 were first-preference choices, and all 30 places went to first-preference applicants. This level of demand suggests families who know the school well are keen to secure a place. The school is at full capacity with 240 pupils, and while the Parent View data isn't included here, the sheer volume of applications is a practical indicator of its reputation among local families. The headteacher, Gareth Dutton, leads a Church of England primary that also offers nursery provision for children from age three, which can be a deciding factor for parents looking for continuity from early years through to Year 6.
