Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet 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, 13 families put Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School as their first choice and 45 named it as one of their preferences, for 15 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: 12 first choices in 2021, against 13 in 2026.
18% of applications came from families living in another council area.
Across West Berkshire, 91% 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 West Berkshire lodged 21 appeals against primary school offers; 9 reached a hearing and 3 succeeded (33.3% of those heard).
