Honeybourne Primary Academy
About Honeybourne Primary Academy
Honeybourne Primary Academy has a mixed reception from its parent community, with 67% of respondents in the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That leaves a notable 33% who would not, and the detailed responses reveal some clear areas of strength and concern. On the positive side, 87% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and a combined 88% felt their child feels safe. However, only 67% agreed that concerns are dealt with properly, and just 62% felt the school supports their child's wider personal development. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 35 applications for 26 places, giving a ratio of 1.35 to 1, and all 26 first-preference applicants received an offer. This suggests that while the school is popular enough to fill its places, it is not heavily oversubscribed, and the parent feedback indicates a community where satisfaction is solid but not universal.
