About Cannon Lane Primary School

If you're looking at Cannon Lane Primary School, the first thing you'll notice is how strongly parents rate it. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, every single one of the 108 respondents said they would recommend the school. That's a 100% recommend rate, which is about as emphatic as it gets. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, there were 315 applications for just 86 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.66. Of those, 93 families put it as their first preference, and 79 of them received an offer. Parents report very high levels of satisfaction across the board — 81% strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 82% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in December 2024, rated it Outstanding across all areas, including behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. That's an upgrade from its previous Good rating in 2018.
