About Gledhow Primary School

Parents considering Gledhow Primary School will find strong signals from other families who have been there recently. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering the period up to September 2025, a very high 91% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That figure comes from 166 responses, giving it a solid base. The school is also clearly popular in the local area: for entry in 2025/26, it received 265 applications for just 76 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.49 to one. Only 54 of those places went to first-preference applicants, which tells you demand significantly outstrips supply. On the day-to-day experience, 94% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 93% felt their child is safe. The school also scores well on communication, with 96% of parents agreeing the school lets them know how their child is doing, and 96% agreeing they are made aware of what their child will learn.
