About Ivington CofE Primary and Pre-School

Ofsted's Parent View survey, completed by 21 families between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 76% of respondents would recommend Ivington CofE Primary and Pre-School. That's a solid endorsement, though it's worth noting that 24% said they wouldn't. The picture gets more nuanced when you dig into specific questions. A combined 90% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt the same about safety. However, behaviour and SEND support are more divisive: only 66% agreed that the school makes sure pupils are well behaved, and on the question of whether the school gives children with special educational needs the support they need, 40% disagreed compared with 60% who agreed. The school is clearly popular locally — for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 36 applications for just 18 places, with all 18 first-preference families offered a spot, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1.
