About Avening Primary School
Parents considering Avening Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already there. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 90% of the ten respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That same proportion strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school and feels safe there. The school is clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 26 applications for just 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.86. All 14 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers show that getting in is not guaranteed. Parents also reported very positive views on behaviour, with 80% strongly agreeing the school ensures pupils are well behaved, and 80% strongly agreeing that the school has high expectations for their child.
