About Inkberrow Primary School

If you're looking at Inkberrow Primary School, the first thing you'll notice is how strongly parents feel about it. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, a striking 87% of parents said they would recommend the school, with only 13% saying they wouldn't. That's a powerful signal. Dig into the individual responses and the picture stays positive: 89% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 93% felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 academic year, Inkberrow received 49 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.63. Of those, 36 were first-preference applications, and all 30 places went to first-preference families. It's a school that local parents are actively choosing, and once their children are through the gate, the vast majority are happy with what they find.

Academically, Inkberrow is performing at an exceptionally high level. In the 2023/24 Key Stage 2 assessments, 88% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing, and maths combined. That's well above the local authority average of 61% for similar schools. The school also excels at stretching its pupils: 21% achieved the higher standard in all three subjects, with particularly strong results in reading, where 46% reached the higher standard, and maths, where 38% did. Average scaled scores were 111 in reading and 109 in maths, both comfortably above the national benchmark of 100. These results place Inkberrow first out of 17 primary schools in the Wychavon local authority ranking, and in the top 5% nationally. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in April 2025, awarded Outstanding grades across every category judged: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The school has held an Outstanding rating since at least its previous inspection in 2014.

Inkberrow is a relatively small primary school with 197 pupils against a capacity of 210, and a very low proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 4.6%. The school offers a solid range of facilities including playing fields, a sports hall, an ICT suite, and a sensory room, plus clubs like art, gardening, coding, chess, and choir. For families with children who have special educational needs, the school lists provisions for a wide range of needs, from dyslexia and speech and language difficulties to autistic spectrum disorder and physical disability. However, the Parent View data on SEND support is more mixed: while 50% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that SEND children get the support they need, 46% disagreed or strongly disagreed, so it's worth discussing this directly with the school if it's relevant to your child. With its strong academic record, high parent satisfaction, and oversubscribed intake, Inkberrow is a school that suits families who place a premium on strong outcomes and a well-regarded local option, but you'll need to apply early to secure a place.
