About Putteridge Primary School

Putteridge Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In its most recent admissions round for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 160 applications for just 90 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1. 78 applicants per place. Of those applications, 65 were first-preference choices, and all 65 received offers, suggesting that for families who rank it top, the odds are reasonable but not guaranteed. Parent satisfaction appears strong, though the data does not include a specific parent-view recommendation percentage. The school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since its 2015 graded inspection, and its most recent ungraded inspection in 2024 confirmed it remains Good, with leadership and management judged Outstanding. This combination of high demand and solid official recognition suggests a school that local parents trust and actively seek out.
