About Gulworthy Primary Academy

Gulworthy Primary Academy is a school where parents are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, every single one of the 24 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. The detail backs that up: 83% strongly agreed that their child is happy and feels safe, and the same proportion strongly agreed that their child does well. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 20 applications for just 10 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. All ten first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers show demand is strong. Parents also felt well-informed, with 71% strongly agreeing the school lets them know how their child is getting on, and 75% strongly agreeing there is a good range of subjects available. The only slight note of caution came on bullying: 75% of respondents marked this as not applicable, so it is hard to draw a firm conclusion from the small number who answered.
