About Lodge Primary School

Parents considering Lodge Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already there. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 91% of the 11 respondents said they would recommend the school. That’s a very high endorsement, and it’s backed up by the detail: every parent agreed their child is happy, and every parent agreed their child feels safe. On behaviour, 73% strongly agreed the school ensures pupils are well behaved, with the rest agreeing. The school is also clearly in demand locally. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 49 applications for 35 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.4. Of those, 33 were first-preference applications, and 33 first-preference offers were made, meaning nearly every family that put it first got a place. That combination of strong parent approval and healthy demand suggests a school that is well-regarded by its community.
