About St Rumon's Church of England (VC) Infants School

If you're looking for a school that local families clearly want to get into, St Rumon's Church of England (VC) Infants School is a strong signal. For its 2025/26 reception intake, the school had 35 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.19. All 16 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that if you put it first, your chances were good, but the overall demand is notably high for a small infants' school. The school is led by headteacher Suzy Dyter and has a Church of England character, though it is a state school open to all. With only 80 pupils on roll against a capacity of 135, the school is not full, so the oversubscription is likely concentrated in the reception year. The school also reports that 13.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is around the national average for primary schools.
