About St Peter and St Paul CofE Primary School

St Peter and St Paul CofE Primary School is significantly oversubscribed, a clear signal of its popularity among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 103 applications for just 45 places, with 60 of those applicants listing it as their first preference. This demand is understandable given its current roll of 321 pupils, which already exceeds its official capacity of 270. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 17.8%, a figure that is slightly above the national average for primary schools in England, which typically hovers around 23-24%. This suggests the school serves a broadly mixed catchment, drawing families from a range of backgrounds. As a Church of England primary, it has a religious character, though the admissions data doesn't specify whether faith criteria are used to prioritise places. What is clear is that securing a spot here is competitive, with an oversubscription ratio of 2.29 applicants per place.
