About Ranelagh Primary School

If you're a parent considering Ranelagh Primary School, the feedback from other families is a strong starting point. In the Parent View survey covering September 2024 to September 2025, 88% of respondents said they would recommend the school, with 73% strongly agreeing their child is happy there and 70% strongly agreeing they feel safe. Behaviour is also a clear strength: 61% strongly agreed the school ensures pupils are well-behaved, and Ofsted’s most recent inspection in 2025 rated behaviour and attitudes as Outstanding. The school is heavily oversubscribed, with 92 applications for just 28 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.29. That level of demand suggests local families are keen to secure a place, and with 25 first-preference offers made, it’s worth noting that not all who put it first were successful.
