About Kimberley Primary School

If you’re a parent weighing up Kimberley Primary School, the numbers suggest it’s a popular choice locally. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 79 applications for just 22 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.59. Only 13 of those applications were first-preference offers, which means competition is real but not overwhelming. Unfortunately, the school doesn’t publish a parent recommendation percentage, so you’ll need to rely on other signals. One strong indicator is the journey from its previous Ofsted inspection in 2017, when the school was rated Requires Improvement across leadership and overall effectiveness. By its most recent graded inspection in September 2022, every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership, and early years provision — had risen to Good. That kind of turnaround often reflects genuine momentum, and it’s worth asking current parents at the gate how things feel day to day.
