About St Francis Church of England Aided Primary School and Nursery

Of the 83 parents who responded to Ofsted’s Parent View survey between September 2024 and September 2025, 89% said they would recommend St Francis Church of England Aided Primary School and Nursery. That’s a strong signal, though the picture is more mixed when you dig into individual questions. For instance, while 92% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 90% felt their child is safe, only 52% agreed that bullying is dealt with quickly and effectively — though 64% said the question didn’t apply to them. The school is clearly popular: for 2025/26 reception places, it received 80 applications for 26 spots, an oversubscription ratio of 3.08, and all 26 first-preference families were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a school that local families are keen to get into, even if the parent experience isn’t uniformly glowing.
