About Knop Law Primary School

Knop Law Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2025, a change from its previous Outstanding rating in 2013. The inspection judged personal development as Outstanding, while quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, early years provision, and leadership and management all received Good. The school is significantly oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 144 applications for 52 places, with 48 of those coming from first-preference families. That works out at nearly three applicants for every spot, which tells you the school is well regarded locally. With 401 pupils on a capacity of 420, it is running close to full. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 25.2%, which is above the national average and gives a sense of the catchment's mix.
