About Moat Hall Primary Academy

Moat Hall Primary Academy has strong parent endorsement, with 94% of respondents to the Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That figure comes from 49 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, and it is backed up by very high levels of agreement on specific questions: 92% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy, and 98% felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular locally — for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 60 applications for 39 places, an oversubscription ratio of 1.54, and all 38 first-preference applicants were offered a place. However, the picture is not entirely rosy. On the question of whether concerns are dealt with properly, 22% of parents disagreed or strongly disagreed, and on SEND support, 45% disagreed or strongly disagreed — a significant minority that prospective parents with children who have additional needs may want to explore further.
