About Bosmere Community Primary School

Parents at Bosmere Community Primary School are generally positive, with 84% of the 37 respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That said, the picture is nuanced. While 98% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 92% felt their child is safe, other areas drew more mixed responses. For instance, only 43% agreed or strongly agreed that concerns are dealt with properly, with 19% disagreeing or strongly disagreeing. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 47 applications for 38 places – a ratio of 1.24 to one – and all 38 first-preference applicants were offered a place. This suggests it is a popular choice locally, though not fiercely competitive. The school has a nursery provision and serves children from age 3 to 11, with headteacher Lee Abbott at the helm.
