About Bird's Bush Primary School

Just over half of parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey would recommend Bird's Bush Primary School, with 59% saying yes. The school is clearly popular locally, as it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 51 applications for just 17 places, a ratio of three applicants per place. However, the parent survey, based on 41 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, reveals a mixed picture. While 81% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 82% felt their child is safe, only 61% agreed that the school has high expectations for their child. Concerns about behaviour management were notable, with 31% of parents disagreeing that the school ensures pupils are well behaved. On the plus side, 90% of parents felt the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 93% agreed there is a good range of subjects available.
