About Punnetts Town Community Primary and Nursery School

Parents at Punnetts Town Community Primary and Nursery School are overwhelmingly positive, with 97% of respondents in the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That figure comes from 37 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, and it’s backed up by strong individual scores: 78% strongly agreed their child is happy, 86% strongly agreed their child feels safe, and 89% strongly agreed their child can take part in clubs and activities. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 31 applications for just 12 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.58. Of those 31 applicants, 11 put Punnetts Town as their first preference, and all 11 were offered a place. That kind of demand suggests a school that families in the Wealden area trust and want to get into, even if it means competing for a spot.
