About Halebank CofE Primary School

Parents at Halebank CofE Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 95% of the 21 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a strong signal of satisfaction, and it’s backed up by the detail: 95% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% said their child does well there. The school is also popular enough to be oversubscribed. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 18 applications for 14 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.29. All 14 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so while it’s not fiercely competitive, it’s clearly a first-choice option for local families. Parents also felt strongly about the school’s wider offer: 96% agreed or strongly agreed that their child can take part in clubs and activities, and 90% said the school supports their child’s wider personal development.
