The Hendreds Church of England School
About The Hendreds Church of England School
The Hendreds Church of England School is a small primary in the Vale of White Horse, running at full capacity with 146 pupils against a school capacity of 144. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 16. 4%, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests a more diverse intake than some of its local counterparts. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 55 total applications for just 13 places, with all 13 first-preference applicants securing a spot. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 4. 23, meaning more than four families applied for every available place. The school is a Church of England state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, and it does not offer nursery provision or a sixth form. Headteacher Lisa Rees leads a school that, based on its admissions data, clearly holds strong appeal for local families.
