About King Edwin Primary School

Parents at King Edwin Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their children's experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, conducted between September 2024 and September 2025, 82% of the 22 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. Every single parent agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy and feels safe, with 59% strongly agreeing on happiness and 68% strongly agreeing on safety. The school is clearly popular locally too: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 27 applications for just 16 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.69. All 16 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers show demand outstrips supply. Parents also feel their children do well here — all respondents agreed or strongly agreed with that statement — and 96% agreed the school has high expectations for their child. The only note of caution came on wider personal development, where 18% of parents disagreed that the school supports this, though 45% strongly agreed.
