Priors Hall - A Learning Community: 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, 56 families put Priors Hall - A Learning Community as their first choice and 105 named it as one of their preferences, for 60 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: 54 first choices in 2021, against 56 in 2026.
Across North Northamptonshire, 94% of families were offered their first-choice primary school for 2026 entry, and 99% were offered one of the schools they named.
In 2025, families in North Northamptonshire lodged 104 appeals against primary school offers; 71 reached a hearing and 9 succeeded (12.7% of those heard).
