About Moss Lane School

Every single parent who responded to Ofsted's Parent View survey said they would recommend Moss Lane School, and that's a striking signal for such a small primary. The survey, which ran between September 2024 and September 2025, drew 29 responses, and the results are overwhelmingly positive. 93% of parents strongly agreed that their child feels safe at school, and 79% strongly agreed that their child is happy. Behaviour is another clear strength — 79% strongly agreed the school makes sure pupils are well behaved, and 90% said bullying simply wasn't applicable to their experience. The school is also heavily oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 190 applications for just 57 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 33. Of those, 52 first-preference families were offered a place. That level of demand, combined with near-unanimous parental satisfaction, suggests a school that local families trust and actively want to get into.
