About Greensted Primary School & Nursery

Of the 61 parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 79% said they would recommend Greensted Primary School & Nursery to other parents. That's a solid endorsement, though it's worth noting the school is heavily oversubscribed: for 2025/26 entry, there were 187 applications for just 59 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.17. Of the 80 first-preference applications, 55 were offered places. The parent survey also reveals some strong positives: 84% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 88% felt their child does well there. However, the picture is more mixed on SEND support: only 45% agreed or strongly agreed that children with special educational needs get the support they need, while 41% strongly disagreed. That's a significant minority to be aware of if your child has identified needs.
