Roos Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
About Roos Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School
Parents considering Roos Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular with local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 29 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.93, meaning nearly two families applied for every available spot. Of those 29 applicants, 17 put Roos as their first preference, and all 15 places went to first-preference families. This level of demand suggests a strong local reputation, though the school does not publish a parent satisfaction survey or a 'would recommend' percentage, so direct feedback from current families isn't available in the data. The school is a Church of England voluntary controlled primary, with a religious character that may appeal to some families, though it is not a faith school in the strictest admissions sense. With 117 pupils on roll against a capacity of 105, the school is slightly over its official capacity, which may reflect its popularity or local demographic pressures.
