About Gresham Village School and Nursery

Parents considering Gresham Village School and Nursery will find a school that is genuinely popular with local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 34 applications for just 21 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.62 — meaning nearly two families applied for every available spot. All 21 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those living closest, it is a realistic first choice. The school is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Faye Herron. It is a relatively small school, with 164 pupils against a capacity of 192, so there is some room for growth. The most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated the school as Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. This represents a clear improvement from the school’s previous graded inspection in 2011, when it was rated Requires Improvement.
