Elston Hall Primary School
About Elston Hall Primary School
If you're a parent weighing up Elston Hall Primary School, the numbers from its most recent Parent View survey offer a mixed but largely positive picture. 81% of the 68 respondents said they would recommend the school, which is a solid endorsement. On the crucial question of happiness, 88% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy here, and 95% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 201 applications for 90 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.23, and 88 of those places went to first-preference families from a pool of 105 first-preference applications. However, the survey also flags some areas of concern. On behaviour, 25% of parents disagreed or strongly disagreed that the school ensures pupils are well behaved, and on SEND support, the response was sharply divided, with 56% disagreeing that the school gives SEND children the support they need.
