About Kelsey Primary School

If you're looking for a primary school where parents are overwhelmingly positive, Kelsey Primary School makes a strong impression. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, every single parent who responded said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's a 100% recommend rate from 18 respondents, which is a powerful signal. Digging into the detail, 61% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 78% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. The school is also clearly popular locally: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 14 applications for just 9 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.56. All 9 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so being first choice is crucial. The school is led by headteacher Katie Grantham and caters for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery provision on site.
