About Edward Pauling Primary School

Just over half of parents who responded to the Parent View survey would recommend Edward Pauling Primary School, with 64 per cent saying yes. That figure sits alongside a mixed picture from the 25 families who took part in the survey between September 2024 and September 2025. On the positive side, 88 per cent agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 96 per cent felt their child is safe. However, only 60 per cent agreed or strongly agreed that the school has high expectations for their child, and just 52 per cent felt concerns are dealt with properly. The school is heavily oversubscribed for Reception places in 2025/26, receiving 135 applications for 28 places — an oversubscription ratio of 4.82. All 25 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is high, local families who put Edward Pauling first are likely to get in.
