About Mursley Church of England School

If you’re looking for a school where parents are overwhelmingly positive, Mursley Church of England School is a strong contender. In the most recent Parent View survey, 100% of the 27 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s backed up by some remarkable individual scores: 96% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school and feels safe there. The school is also heavily oversubscribed — for the 2025/26 intake, there were 59 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 93. Of those, 27 put Mursley as their first preference, and all 15 first-preference offers were taken up. It’s a Church of England primary for children aged 2 to 7, with a nursery provision on site, and headteacher David May leads a small school of just 43 pupils, very close to its capacity of 45.
