About Nacton Church of England Primary School

Parents at Nacton Church of England Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 92% of respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a strong signal from a small community — the survey drew 36 responses, a decent sample for a school of 93 pupils. The detail backs up the headline: 97% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and the same proportion felt their child is safe. Behaviour and personal development also score highly, with 92% agreeing the school makes sure pupils are well behaved. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 reception intake, it received 25 applications for just 13 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.92. All 13 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the numbers show demand outstrips supply by nearly two to one.
