About County Bridge Primary School

Parents considering County Bridge Primary School will find a school that local families clearly rate. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed, receiving 26 applications for its 22 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.18. All 20 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it first, the school is a realistic and popular choice. The school’s headteacher, Rabia Patel, leads a community of 231 pupils, a number that exceeds its official capacity of 210, further underlining its draw. The most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated the school Good overall, a significant improvement from its previous Requires Improvement rating in 2014. The inspection also judged leadership and management, early years provision, and the quality of education all as Good. This upward trajectory in official ratings, combined with the oversubscription figures, paints a picture of a school that has earned the trust of local parents.
