Every child who put New Marston Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made New Marston Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 21 Reception places. Overall pupil absence was 5.8%. There are about 22.9 pupils per teacher.
