About St Uny CofE Academy

St Uny CofE Academy is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 43 first-preference applications for just 29 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 21. That means more than two families wanted each spot, a clear signal of its standing in the community. While the school does not publish a parent recommendation percentage, the high demand alone tells you something about how it is perceived. The school is a Church of England primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Richard Hoskins. It currently has 234 pupils on roll against a capacity of 278, so there is a little breathing room in the older year groups, but for reception you will need to apply early.
