About St Ann's Church of England Primary School

If you're a parent considering St Ann's Church of England Primary School, the parent view data offers a mixed but revealing picture. Of the 106 families who responded to Ofsted's Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 68% said they would recommend the school. That's a solid majority, though it leaves a notable 32% who wouldn't. The school is clearly popular: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 118 applications for just 53 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2.23, and 46 first-preference offers were made. On the positive side, 82% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 79% felt their child is safe. However, concerns are evident in specific areas: only 49% agreed that concerns are dealt with properly, and just 31% felt SEND children get the support they need. The school's behaviour management is well-regarded by 71% of respondents, and 88% agreed their child does well here.
