The Vine Inter-Church 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, 36 families put The Vine Inter-Church Primary School as their first choice and 67 named it as one of their preferences, for 36 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 54 in 2021 to 36 in 2026, while places went from 58 to 36.
Across Cambridgeshire, 95% 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 Cambridgeshire lodged 170 appeals against primary school offers; 99 reached a hearing and 26 succeeded (26.3% of those heard).
