Clifton-upon-Dunsmore CofE Primary School: admissions history
How many families applied, how many places there were, and how far the last place went - every year we hold.
For September 2026 entry, 30 families put Clifton-upon-Dunsmore CofE Primary School as their first choice and 109 named it as one of their preferences, for 30 places offered. It had fewer first-choice applications than places, so in 2026 a family who put it first could expect an offer unless the school's other criteria ruled them out.
First-choice demand has fallen from 40 in 2021 to 30 in 2026.
Across Warwickshire, 88% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 98% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in Warwickshire lodged 283 appeals against primary school offers; 184 reached a hearing and 22 succeeded (12% of those heard).
