Northaw Church of England Primary School
About Northaw Church of England Primary School
Parents considering Northaw Church of England Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already there. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 91% of the 56 respondents said they would recommend the school. That’s a notably high figure. The school is also clearly popular in the local area: for the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 36 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 4. Of those 36 applications, 13 were first-preference choices, and 12 of those first-preference families were offered a place. The school is a Church of England primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site. It currently has 101 pupils against a capacity of 124, so there is some physical room, but demand clearly outstrips supply at the point of entry.
