About St Edmund's Primary School

Of the 17 families who responded to Ofsted's Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 59% said they would recommend St Edmund's Primary School to other parents. That's a mixed picture, and it's worth digging into the detail. The school is oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, with 14 applications for 8 places and a ratio of 1.75 applicants per spot, suggesting local demand remains solid. But the parent feedback reveals some clear areas of concern. While 77% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and 76% felt their child is safe, only 53% agreed that the school has high expectations for their child. On behaviour, 53% agreed the school ensures good conduct, but 18% strongly disagreed. Bullying is a particular flashpoint: 24% disagreed it's dealt with effectively, though 53% said the question wasn't applicable to them. Just 35% felt concerns are handled properly, with 24% disagreeing.
