About Christ The King Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy

Parents considering Christ The King Roman Catholic Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction from the school community. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 90% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a high figure, drawn from 49 responses, and it’s backed up by individual question results: 90% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and a combined 90% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 91 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.03. Only 26 of those applications were first-preference, meaning the school was the top choice for exactly that number of families, all of whom were offered a place.
