If you're a parent weighing up Christleton Primary School, the numbers from Ofsted's Parent View survey are a good place to start. Of the 119 families who responded, a striking 98% said they would recommend the school to other parents. That confidence is backed up by some very strong individual scores: 96% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 99% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular, too. For the 2025/26 intake, Christleton received 123 applications for just 29 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.24.
