About Morland Area CofE Primary School

If you're looking for a primary school where parents are genuinely delighted, Morland Area CofE Primary School makes a very strong case. In the most recent Parent View survey, a remarkable 97% of the 39 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That's backed up by some striking individual responses: 100% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular on the ground. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 21 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.4. All 15 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so while it's oversubscribed, being a first-choice pick clearly counts for a lot.
