About Newbold Church of England Primary School

Newbold Church of England Primary School is a small village school that clearly inspires strong loyalty among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 13 applications for just 3 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.33 — meaning more than four families applied for every available spot. Only 2 of those applications were first-preference, which suggests that while the school is popular, many families are also hedging their bets with other choices. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in 2023, confirmed that it remains Good, a rating it has held consistently across its previous graded inspections. With just 28 pupils on roll against a capacity of 70, the school is operating at only 40% of its potential size, which gives it an unusually intimate feel. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 10.7%, slightly below the national average for primary schools.
