About Forest Park Primary School

Forest Park Primary School in Stoke-on-Trent is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 83 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.38. Of those applications, 59 were first-preference choices, and 56 of those families received an offer. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though it's worth noting that the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, so we can't put a number on that satisfaction. The school is a state primary for mixed genders aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and it has a Good rating from Ofsted following its most recent ungraded inspection in October 2023, which confirmed the school remains Good. Headteacher Sherin Vorajee leads a school of 459 pupils, very close to its capacity of 472.
