About Thundridge Church of England Primary School

Thundridge Church of England Primary School is a small village school in East Hertfordshire, currently teaching 76 pupils against a capacity of 120, meaning it is running at just over 63% full. This undersubscription is notable given the local demand for primary places: the school received 35 applications for 14 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, making it officially oversubscribed with a ratio of 2. 5 applications per place. All 14 first-preference applicants were offered a spot, suggesting that while the school is popular among those who choose it, it is not drawing from a wide catchment. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15. 1%, which is above the national average for primary schools, indicating a slightly higher-than-typical level of socio-economic disadvantage among the intake. As a Church of England school with nursery provision, it serves children from age 3 to 11, and the headteacher is Sarah Bridgman.
