About Peartree Primary School

Of the 62 parents who responded to Ofsted's Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 77% said they would recommend Peartree Primary School to other families. That's a solid endorsement, though it's worth noting that 23% said they wouldn't. The school is clearly popular: for 2025/26 reception places, it received 71 applications for just 26 spots, an oversubscription ratio of 2. 73. Only 13 of those 71 applicants put Peartree as their first preference, and all 13 were offered a place. The school is led by headteacher Megan Hardy and currently has 187 pupils on roll against a capacity of 270, so there's room to grow. Parents gave particularly strong scores on happiness and safety: 87% either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 85% felt their child is safe. Communication also scored well, with 97% agreeing the school keeps them informed about what their child will learn.
