About Ashurst Wood Primary School

Parents at Ashurst Wood Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience, with 88% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. The survey, which ran between September 2024 and September 2025 and gathered 51 responses, shows particularly strong satisfaction around children’s happiness and safety: every single parent agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 96% felt their child is safe. Communication with families also scores well, with 92% of parents agreeing the school lets them know how their child is doing, and 94% saying they are made aware of what their child will learn. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 24 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 4. All ten first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers suggest that families who don’t put it top of their list may find it harder to get in.
