Marlborough Primary School
About Marlborough Primary School
Parents at Marlborough Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 94% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a strong vote of confidence from the 53 families who took part. The school is clearly popular locally too: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 198 applications for just 83 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.39. That means more than two families applied for every spot. Among the 58 first-preference applicants, all were offered a place, which suggests that if you put it first on your form, you stand a decent chance. On specific questions, the feedback is particularly strong around happiness and safety: 98% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and the same proportion felt their child is safe. The school also scores well on communication, with 97% of parents saying they are kept informed about how their child is doing.
