About Cherry Grove Primary School

Cherry Grove Primary School enjoys strong backing from its parent community, with 92% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That figure, drawn from 65 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, is supported by notably high levels of agreement on specific questions: 99% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 97% felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 87 applications for just 41 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.12. Only 27 of those applications were first-preference, meaning the school was the top choice for roughly a third of applicants, but demand still far outstrips supply. Parents also reported strong satisfaction with the range of clubs and activities on offer, with 97% agreeing their child can take part, and 93% felt the school supports wider personal development.
