About King William Street Church of England Primary School

Parents considering King William Street Church of England Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already there. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 92% of the 26 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That confidence is backed up by some very high individual scores: 96% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and the same proportion felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular in the local area. For the 2025/26 academic year, it received 103 applications for just 28 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.68. Of those, 24 families put it as their first preference, and all 24 received an offer. This level of demand suggests a school that local families are actively choosing, and the positive parent feedback indicates that once children are through the gates, expectations are largely being met.
