About Compton C.E. Primary School

Parents considering Compton C. E. Primary School will find a mixed picture in the most recent Parent View responses, collected between September 2024 and September 2025. 78% of the 63 respondents said they would recommend the school, which is a solid majority. However, the detail reveals some notable areas of concern. While 84% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 85% felt their child is safe, only 65% agreed that concerns are dealt with properly, with 21% actively disagreeing. The most striking split is around SEND support: just 35% agreed that children with special educational needs get the support they need, while 65% disagreed or strongly disagreed. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 34 applications for 20 places and an oversubscription ratio of 1. 7, and all 19 first-preference applicants were offered a place. That demand suggests the school remains popular locally, but the parent feedback indicates that experience can vary significantly depending on a child's needs.
