Levendale Primary School
About Levendale Primary School
If you're a parent weighing up Levendale Primary School, the early signals are encouraging. The school is clearly popular: for its 22 Reception places in the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 57 applications, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.59 applicants per place. All 20 first-preference families were offered a spot, which suggests that if you put it first, you have a strong chance. While the school doesn't publish a parent-view recommendation score, the combination of high demand and a Good Ofsted rating across the board — behaviour, leadership, early years provision, personal development and quality of education all rated Good in the 2023 inspection — points to a school that local families trust. It's worth noting that Levendale has held a Good rating consistently since at least its previous inspection in 2013, so there's a track record of stability.
