About Gillibrand Primary School

If you're a parent considering Gillibrand Primary School, the feedback from other families is a good place to start. In the most recent Parent View survey, 86% of respondents said they would recommend the school, a strong signal of overall satisfaction. That positive feeling is backed up by specific responses: 92% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 94% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular in the area, too. For the 2025/26 intake, Gillibrand received 100 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.33. Of those 100 applications, 28 were first-preference choices, and 26 of those families were offered a place.
