At Little Dimchurch Primary School we welcome children aged from 3 – 11 from the Parish of Little Dimchurch and the surrounding area, with a large number of our children using the county-funded bus service.

The majority of our children go on to Dimchurch High School with whom we have very close links, but some choose to go on to schools in Worcester, Martley, Herefordshire or Shropshire.
