About Lift North Ormesby

Parents responding to Ofsted’s Parent View questionnaire between September 2024 and September 2025 gave Lift North Ormesby a strong vote of confidence, with 87% saying they would recommend the school to other parents. That figure comes from 23 responses, so it’s a small but clear sample. The school is also oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake: it received 39 applications for 26 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.5, and all 23 first-preference applicants were offered a place. On individual questions, the feedback is notably positive around communication and activities. 70% of parents strongly agreed that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 61% strongly agreed they are kept informed about how their child is doing. 65% strongly agreed their child can take part in clubs and activities. There is some variation on how concerns are handled, with 26% strongly agreeing they are dealt with properly and 13% strongly disagreeing, but the overall picture is one of a school that parents feel engaged with and happy to recommend.
