About Reay Primary School

Parents at Reay Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience, with 89% of respondents to the Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That survey, covering the period from September 2024 to September 2025, drew 70 responses and showed particularly strong feelings on wellbeing: 66% strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 70% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. Communication also scores well, with 67% strongly agreeing the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. The school is clearly popular locally — for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 108 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 3.6 to one. Of those, 35 families put Reay as their first preference, and 26 were offered a place. This level of demand suggests a school that parents trust, even if the official Ofsted rating has shifted since its last full graded inspection.
