About Listerdale Primary Academy

Listerdale Primary Academy is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 84 applications for just 53 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.58. All 50 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is accessible. While the Department for Education does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage for this school, the high demand alone signals strong local confidence. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Reynolds and serves 358 pupils, which is above its stated capacity of 315. It is a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in July 2024, rated the school Good across all five categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management.
