About Chalgrove Community Primary School

Parents considering Chalgrove Community Primary School will find a school that parents broadly recommend, with 78% of respondents in the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend it. That survey, which ran from September 2024 to September 2025 and collected 63 responses, also showed strong positive sentiment on specific questions: 88% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 87% felt their child does well at the school. The school is popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, Chalgrove received 36 applications for 26 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.38. All 24 first-preference applicants were offered a place, meaning that while the school is oversubscribed overall, families who put it first have a strong chance of getting in. The headteacher is Gareth Alcott, and the school operates a nursery provision for children from age three.
