About Trinity Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School

Trinity Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School is a small state primary in Mid Suffolk, and its intake figures tell an interesting story. With 156 pupils on roll against a capacity of 315, the school is operating at just under half its potential size, which is a significant gap. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 23.7%, a figure worth noting in the context of the Suffolk local authority average. Despite the spare capacity, the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 46 applications for 28 places, with all 28 first-preference offers accepted, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.64. That suggests families in the area are actively choosing Trinity, even though the school isn't full overall. The school is a Church of England voluntary aided primary, mixed-gender, for ages 4 to 11, and is led by headteacher Linda Curran-Spain.
