About Godshill Primary School

Godshill Primary School is a popular choice among Isle of Wight families, with its most recent admissions data for 2025/26 showing it was oversubscribed by a ratio of 2. 78 to one. The school received 25 applications for just nine places, and all nine first-preference applicants were offered a spot, suggesting strong local demand. While the school does not publish a formal parent satisfaction survey, the oversubscription figures alone indicate that many families actively seek a place here. The school is a mixed, state-funded primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a current roll of 176 pupils, just one over its official capacity of 175. Headteacher Mark Snow leads a school where 21% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, and the nursery provision means children can join from age two.
