About St Mary and St John CofE VA Primary School

Parents considering St Mary and St John CofE VA Primary School will find a school that local families clearly want to get into. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 42 applications for just 24 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 75. Every one of those 24 first-preference applicants was offered a place, which suggests that for families who put it top of their list, the school is a realistic option despite being popular. The school is a Church of England voluntary aided primary, with headteacher Hannah Roddy leading a pupil roll of 179 against a capacity of 220, so there is some room to grow. In its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, the school was rated Good across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That is a clean sweep of Good grades, and it matches the Good rating it held in its previous 2014 inspection.
