About Brambles Primary Academy

If you're a parent considering Brambles Primary Academy, the feedback from other families is a strong signal. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, a striking 90% of respondents said they would recommend the school. That confidence is backed up by very high satisfaction on specific questions: 95% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy, and every single respondent felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular, too. For the 2025/26 academic year, Brambles received 74 applications for just 40 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.85. Of those, 39 families put it as their first choice, and all 39 were offered a place. It's worth noting that the school is already over its official capacity of 341 pupils, with 354 on roll, which suggests a real demand for what it offers.
