About Park Lane Primary School

Park Lane Primary School enjoys strong support from its parent community, with 81% of respondents to the Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That figure comes from 48 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, and it is backed up by notably high satisfaction on specific questions: 84% of parents strongly agreed or agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 85% felt the same about their child doing well. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 intake, Park Lane received 116 applications for just 49 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.37. All 41 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while demand is strong, families who put it top of their list have a realistic chance. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site, and is led by headteacher Alex Ladbury.
