Horninglow Primary School
About Horninglow Primary School
If you're a parent considering Horninglow Primary School, the parent feedback collected by Ofsted between September 2024 and September 2025 offers a mixed but telling picture. 73% of the 15 respondents would recommend the school, which is a solid majority. However, the detail reveals some sharp divides. While 86% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 87% felt their child is safe, only 66% felt the school makes sure pupils are well behaved, and just 14% agreed that bullying is dealt with quickly and effectively (with 27% saying they didn't know). On communication, 53% felt the school lets them know how their child is doing, but 40% disagreed that concerns are dealt with properly. The school is clearly popular: for 2025/26 admissions, it received 59 applications for 25 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.36, with 24 first-preference offers made. That level of demand suggests many local families see it as a strong option, despite the patchy satisfaction scores.
