About Ash Grove Academy

Ash Grove Academy is a primary school that clearly commands strong local confidence. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 71 applications for just 30 places, making it significantly oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.37 applicants per place. Of those 71 applications, 37 were first-preference choices, and all 30 places went to first-preference families. This level of demand suggests a school that parents actively want, and the official parent view data reinforces that picture. While the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2024 awarded it Outstanding across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — it’s the practical experience of families that often matters most. With 27.8% of pupils eligible for free school meals, the school serves a diverse intake, and its nursery provision means children can join from age two, giving families a long-term option from early years right through to Year 6.
