About Far Forest Lea Memorial CofE Primary School

Far Forest Lea Memorial CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Worcestershire that clearly inspires strong feelings among its parent community. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 89% of the 19 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That figure is backed up by some notably high scores on individual questions: 84% strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 89% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. On behaviour, every single respondent either agreed or strongly agreed that the school ensures pupils are well behaved. The school is also oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 16 applications for just 8 places and 7 first-preference offers made, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. That level of demand suggests a reputation that extends beyond the immediate village.
