About Roade Primary School

Roade Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 46 applications for its 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 44. All 32 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it top of their list, the school is accessible. While the school does not publish a parent-view recommendation percentage, the fact that it is oversubscribed and that every first-preference family secured a spot points to strong local confidence. The school is a state primary for children aged 3 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Jo Michel. It has a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has held consistently across its two most recent inspections.
