About Aloeric Primary School

Aloeric Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 48 first-preference applicants receiving offers for its 48 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. The school was oversubscribed overall, receiving 93 total applications for those 48 spots, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 94. That means nearly two families applied for every place, a clear signal of local demand. Parent satisfaction data isn't published here, but the high first-preference rate — every single place went to a first-choice applicant — suggests strong confidence from families who know the school best. Headteacher Tom Mullins leads a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with 347 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420. The school's most recent graded Ofsted inspection, in 2015, rated it Good overall, with Good marks for leadership, management, and early years provision. A subsequent ungraded inspection in 2022 confirmed the school remains Good.
