About Moredon Primary School

Moredon Primary School sends strong signals to parents that it is a popular choice. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school was oversubscribed, with 79 applications for 41 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.93. Of those 79 applications, 40 were first-preference choices, and 40 first-preference offers were made. This suggests that most families who put Moredon first were successful, but the overall demand comfortably exceeds capacity. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. This is a step down from its previous Outstanding rating in 2008, but the Good judgement is consistent and thorough. With 382 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, there is still a little room, but the oversubscription pattern indicates that parents are keen to secure a place here.
