About Albert Bradbeer Primary Academy

Albert Bradbeer Primary Academy gets a mixed report from its parent community. In the most recent Parent View survey, 60% of the 40 respondents said they would recommend the school, while 40% would not. That split is reflected in the detail: 78% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 76% felt the same about safety. But when it comes to how the school handles concerns, only 38% agreed or strongly agreed that issues are dealt with properly, and 43% disagreed or strongly disagreed. The school is heavily oversubscribed for Reception places in 2025/26, with 80 applications for 23 places — a ratio of 3.48 applicants per place. Of those, 22 were first-preference offers, suggesting strong local demand despite the divided parent views.
