In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from 3 September 2024 to 1 September 2025, a full 96% of parents said they would recommend the school. That's a very strong signal. Digging into the detail, 83% of respondents strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 81% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. On communication, 79% strongly agreed the school keeps them aware of what their child will learn, and 77% strongly agreed they're kept informed about progress. The school is significantly oversubscribed, with 625 pupils on roll against a stated capacity of just 170, which tells you demand far outstrips supply.
