About Nansen Primary School

If you're a parent considering Nansen Primary School, the feedback from other families is a good place to start. In the most recent Parent View survey, a remarkable 98% of respondents said they would recommend the school. That's based on 102 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, so it's a solid, recent snapshot of opinion. Digging into the detail, the sentiment is consistently positive: 99% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 98% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly popular, too. For entry in 2025/26, Nansen received 185 applications for just 44 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.2 to one. All 44 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with demand outstripping supply by that margin, it's a school you'll want to have high on your list.
