About Danegrove Primary School

Danegrove Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 149 applications chasing just 57 places for the 2025/26 academic year, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.61. Of those applicants, 36 put Danegrove as their first preference, and all 36 received an offer. The school’s most recent ungraded Ofsted inspection, in July 2022, confirmed it remains a Good school, a rating it has held consistently since at least its 2011 graded inspection. In that earlier graded visit, inspectors rated leadership and management as Outstanding, while overall effectiveness, early years provision, and behaviour and attitudes were all judged Good. The 2022 ungraded inspection noted no change in quality. With 616 pupils on roll, the school is operating very close to its capacity of 630, which helps explain the high demand. For parents weighing up their options, the oversubscription figures are a clear signal that Danegrove is a well-regarded local primary.
