About Spaxton CofE Primary School

If you're a parent considering Spaxton CofE Primary School, the feedback from other families is a good place to start. In the most recent Parent View survey, which ran from September 2024 to September 2025, 73% of the 26 respondents said they would recommend the school. That's a solid majority, though it's worth noting that 27% said they wouldn't. On the specifics, the picture is mostly positive: 96% of parents felt their child was happy, and every single respondent agreed their child felt safe. Communication seems to be a strong point, with 96% agreeing the school lets them know how their child is doing, and a similar proportion felt aware of what their child would learn. However, the school is clearly in demand. For the 2025/26 academic year, it was oversubscribed, receiving 14 applications for just 8 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 75. Of those 14 applicants, 6 put it as their first preference, and all 6 were offered a place.
