Baston CE Primary School
About Baston CE Primary School
If you're a parent considering Baston CE Primary School, the most recent parent survey offers a mixed but largely positive picture. Of the 47 families who responded to the Ofsted Parent View questionnaire between September 2024 and September 2025, 83% said they would recommend the school. That's a solid vote of confidence, though it's worth noting that 17% said they wouldn't. On specific questions, the school scores well on happiness and safety: 90% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 85% felt their child is safe. Behaviour is also seen as a strength, with 87% agreeing the school ensures pupils are well behaved. However, concerns are not always dealt with to everyone's satisfaction — 24% disagreed that concerns are handled properly, and 13% strongly disagreed. The school is popular locally: for the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 50 applications for just 23 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 17. All 20 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so putting it first on your form gives you a strong chance.
