Grace Cook Primary School
About Grace Cook Primary School
Grace Cook Primary School holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in February 2025, with inspectors awarding top marks in one area: its early years provision was judged Outstanding. That’s a strong signal for parents of younger children considering the school’s nursery provision, which caters for children from age two. Across the other four graded categories — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management — the school scored Good across the board. The inspection was a full graded visit, so there’s no previous rating to compare against, but the consistency is clear. The school is small, with 182 pupils against a capacity of 270, and has a low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 7.2 per cent. Parent feedback from the Ofsted Parent View survey, collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows 83 per cent of respondents would recommend the school, though the response rate of 47 parents should be kept in mind.
