About Cutteslowe Primary School

Parents at Cutteslowe Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience, with 85% of respondents to the Ofsted Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, drew 74 responses and showed particularly strong feelings around happiness and safety: 94% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 92% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, Cutteslowe received 55 applications for just 22 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.5 to one. Of those, 20 families listed it as their first preference, and all 20 were offered a place. The school has a nursery provision for children from age three, and its total roll of 303 pupils sits well below its capacity of 420, suggesting there is room for growth in some year groups.
