Staverton Church of England Voluntary Primary School
About Staverton Church of England Voluntary Primary School
Staverton Church of England Voluntary Primary School is a small state primary in West Northamptonshire, with 104 pupils on roll against a capacity of 113, so it runs close to full but isn't bursting at the seams. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 10.9%, which is below the national average for primary schools and suggests a relatively affluent intake. Demand is clearly strong: for the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 27 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.8. Of those, 13 were first-preference applications, and all 13 received an offer, meaning every family that put Staverton first got a place. That's a healthy signal for parents considering it as a realistic option, though it's worth noting the school is oversubscribed overall. The Church of England character is woven into the school's identity, and the headteacher is Ruth Nelmes.
