About Park Lane Primary & Nursery School

Park Lane Primary & Nursery School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 107 applications for just 57 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.88. Of those 107 applications, 55 were first-preference choices, and the school was able to offer places to all 55 of those first-preference families. This level of demand suggests strong parent confidence, though it's worth noting that the school does not publish a parent view survey or recommend percentage, so we can't quantify satisfaction directly. The school is led by headteacher Rob Litten and serves 453 pupils, which is slightly above its official capacity of 420. It's a mixed, non-denominational state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with nursery provision on site. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 14.8%, which is broadly in line with national averages for primary schools.
