Everton Heath 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, 9 families put Everton Heath Primary School as their first choice and 41 named it as one of their preferences, for 12 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.
Demand has been fairly steady: 9 first choices in 2021, against 9 in 2026.
22% of applications came from families living in another council area.
Across Central Bedfordshire, 90% 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 Central Bedfordshire lodged 92 appeals against primary school offers; 62 reached a hearing and 20 succeeded (32.3% of those heard).
