About Abbotsbury Primary School

Abbotsbury Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 30 first-preference applications for its 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, meaning every family who put it first secured a spot. However, the school received 75 total applications for those 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.5 to one, so competition is real. Headteacher Ro Maybury leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for ages 3 to 11 in Merton, with a nursery on site. The school is currently rated Good by Ofsted, a grade it has held consistently across its two most recent inspections. In its 2023 ungraded inspection, inspectors confirmed the school remains Good, with leadership and management also judged Good. The school serves a diverse community, with 40.9% of pupils eligible for free school meals, well above the national average.
