About Emmer Green Primary School

Parents at Emmer Green Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 99% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That near-unanimous approval is backed up by strong individual scores: 84% strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 88% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. Behaviour is another standout area, with 69% strongly agreeing that the school ensures pupils are well behaved. The school is also clearly in high demand. For the 2025/26 academic year, Emmer Green received 209 applications for just 60 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.48. Of the 65 families who put it as their first preference, 58 were offered a place. That level of competition tells you this is a school local families are keen to get into, and the parent feedback suggests those who secure a place are very happy with what they find.
