About Fishponds CofE Primary School

Fishponds CofE Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 92 applications for 48 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.92. Of those, 44 families put it as their first preference, and all of them received an offer. The school doesn't publish a parent recommendation percentage, but the demand speaks for itself. Headteacher Michelle Omoboni leads a Church of England primary in Bristol that has clearly rebuilt confidence since its last inspection. The school is not oversubscribed by a huge margin, but it is oversubscribed, and first-preference families are getting in, which suggests a steady, genuine local pull rather than a scramble.
