About Grimes Dyke Primary School

If you’re looking for a school where parents are overwhelmingly positive, Grimes Dyke Primary School stands out. In the most recent Parent View survey, 97% of respondents said they would recommend the school, and the feedback across individual questions is remarkably strong. 89% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 86% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school is clearly popular locally too: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 69 applications for just 23 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3 to 1. All 21 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is high, families who put it first are likely to get in. Parents also feel well-informed, with 77% strongly agreeing that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 80% strongly agreeing that the school lets them know how their child is doing.
