About Nova Primary Academy
Parents considering Nova Primary Academy will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already in the school community. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, 92% of the 50 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. The feedback is particularly positive on core pastoral measures: 96% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 98% felt their child is safe. The school is also clearly popular locally. For entry in the 2025/26 academic year, Nova received 59 applications for 34 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.74. Of those 33 first-preference applications, all 33 were offered a place, meaning that while the school is oversubscribed overall, families who put it as their top choice have a strong chance of securing a spot.
