About Sharp Lane Primary School

If you're considering Sharp Lane Primary School, the experience of current parents is a strong starting point. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, a remarkable 92% of respondents said they would recommend the school. That's a very high vote of confidence. The school is also clearly popular in the local area: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 170 applications for just 53 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 21. This means over three families applied for every available spot, and all 50 first-preference offers were taken up. Parents report strong satisfaction with their children's happiness and safety, with 97% agreeing or strongly agreeing that their child is happy, and 96% that their child feels safe. The school's leadership, under headteacher Rebecca White, has clearly built a positive reputation that translates into real demand.
