About Shute Community Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View survey, completed by 36 families between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 67% of respondents would recommend Shute Community Primary School. That's a solid majority, though it leaves a third who wouldn't, which is worth noting. The school is clearly popular in the local area: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 11 applications for just 5 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.2, and all 5 first-preference applicants were offered a spot. Looking closer at the survey results, there's a mixed picture. While 77% of parents strongly agree or agree that their child is happy, and 73% feel their child is safe, only 39% agree that the school deals with concerns properly, and just 30% feel bullying is handled quickly and effectively. On the plus side, 88% agree they're kept aware of what their child will learn, and 83% say there's a good range of subjects available.
