About Drapers' Maylands Primary School

If you're looking for a school where parents are genuinely happy, Drapers' Maylands Primary School makes a strong impression. In the most recent Parent View survey, every single respondent said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's a 100% recommend rate, based on 28 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025. The feedback is consistently positive across the board: 68% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion strongly agreed that their child feels safe. Behaviour is another standout area — 71% strongly agreed that the school ensures pupils are well behaved, with no parents disagreeing. The school is also oversubscribed, which tells its own story. For the 2025/26 intake, there were 83 applications for 42 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 98. All 42 first-preference applicants received an offer, so getting a place is realistic if you put it top of your list, but it's not a guaranteed shoo-in.
