About Alfred Salter Primary School

Alfred Salter Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 152 applications for just 45 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.38. Of those applicants, 37 put the school as their first preference, and all 37 received an offer. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, and it’s backed up by the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in June 2024, which confirmed it remains Good. That’s a notable improvement from its previous graded inspection in 2019, when it was rated Requires Improvement. Under headteacher Eleanor Prestage, leadership and management, early years provision, and overall effectiveness are all now rated Good. The school serves a diverse intake, with 29% of pupils eligible for free school meals, and it provides nursery provision for children from age three.
