About Holmer Lake Primary School

Holmer Lake Primary School is a state primary in Telford and Wrekin that clearly appeals to local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 38 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.38, meaning more than two families applied for every available spot. All 16 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is popular, it is still accessible to those who put it first. ParentView data is not available in the school's records, so we can't report a recommendation percentage, but the high demand alone signals strong local confidence. The school is led by headteacher Harv Kumar and has a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has held across both its most recent graded inspection in 2017 and its ungraded inspection in 2023, when inspectors confirmed it remains Good.
