Mappleborough Green CofE Primary School
About Mappleborough Green CofE Primary School
Mappleborough Green CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Stratford-on-Avon district of Warwickshire, and it stands out sharply in the local landscape. Among the 196 state primary schools across the local authority, it ranks first, placing it ahead of well-regarded peers such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Barford St Peter's CofE Primary School, and St Gabriel's CofE Academy. The school is heavily oversubscribed: for its 17 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 48 applications, with 16 first-preference applications and an oversubscription ratio of 2.82. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation among local families. Headteacher Alexander Finch leads a school of just 115 pupils, operating at near-full capacity of 119. The most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in March 2022, confirmed that the school remains Good, with leadership and management also rated Good. Its previous graded inspection in 2012 had already awarded a Good rating, marking a clear improvement from a Requires Improvement judgement in 2010.
