About Cold Harbour Church of England School

Cold Harbour Church of England School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 62 applications for just 25 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.48. Every single one of those 24 first-preference applicants was offered a place, which suggests that for families who put it top of their list, it’s a realistic option. The school doesn’t publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, but the high demand alone signals strong local confidence. It’s a small primary, with 174 pupils against a capacity of 210, so classes feel intimate. The headteacher, Sarah Kotulecki, leads a Church of England school that has clearly turned a corner: its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2024 rated it Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for personal development. That’s a notable improvement from its previous inspection in 2021, when it was judged to Require Improvement across the board.
