About Colley Lane Primary Academy

Parents considering Colley Lane Primary Academy will find strong signals of satisfaction from those who know it best. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 91% of the 34 respondents said they would recommend the school. That's a very high endorsement. The detail backs it up: 97% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school and feels safe there, with 68% selecting 'strongly agree' for both. On behaviour, 91% felt the school ensures pupils are well behaved. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, Colley Lane received 97 applications for just 47 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.06. Of those, 44 were first-preference applications, and all 44 received an offer. So while it's a school in demand, first-preference families have a strong chance of getting in.
