About Pownall Green Primary School

Pownall Green Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with 190 applications for just 60 places in the 2025/26 admissions round. That works out at an oversubscription ratio of 3.17, meaning more than three children applied for every available spot. Of those 190 applications, 61 were first-preference choices, and the school was able to offer places to 58 of those families. It’s a strong signal of parent confidence, and it aligns with the school’s Good rating from Ofsted in its most recent inspection in October 2023. The inspectors judged every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision — as Good. That’s a consistent picture, though it’s worth noting that the school’s previous inspection in 2008 had rated it Outstanding across the board, so the current rating represents a step down in Ofsted’s view.
