About Moss Bury Primary School and Nursery

Moss Bury Primary School and Nursery is clearly a popular choice among local families, with a striking 119 applications for just 28 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4. 25. That means more than four families applied for every available spot. Of those, 36 put the school as their first preference, and 26 first-preference offers were made, so the school is heavily oversubscribed even among those who want it most. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in July 2022, confirmed it remains Good, and its previous graded inspection in 2013 also rated it Good overall, with Good leadership and management. This consistency in quality is likely a key reason parents are so keen to secure a place here. The school serves 245 pupils, slightly above its stated capacity of 240, and has a nursery provision for children from age three.
