Yoxford & Peasenhall Primary Academy: 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, 6 families put Yoxford & Peasenhall Primary Academy as their first choice and 13 named it as one of their preferences, for 7 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 10 in 2021 to 6 in 2026, while places went from 13 to 7.
Across Suffolk, 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 Suffolk lodged 86 appeals against primary school offers; 60 reached a hearing and 23 succeeded (38.3% of those heard).
