About Lapage Primary School and Nursery

Of the 25 parents who responded to Ofsted's Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 64% said they would recommend Lapage Primary School and Nursery to other families. That's a solid majority, though it leaves over a third who wouldn't. The school is clearly popular in the local area: for 2025/26 reception places, it received 168 applications for just 61 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.75. Of those, 59 first-preference families were offered a spot. Parents' views on specific areas are mixed. While 84% agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and a similar proportion felt the school lets them know how their child is doing, only 60% felt concerns are dealt with properly. Behaviour is a particular sticking point — just 64% agreed the school ensures pupils are well behaved, and 20% strongly disagreed that bullying is dealt with quickly and effectively.
