About St Mary's Church of England Primary School

If you're a parent in Melton looking at St Mary's Church of England Primary School, the first thing you'll notice is that it's a very popular choice. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 98 applications for just 28 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 3.5. That means for every place, there were more than three families hoping to get in. The school offered 27 of those places to first-preference applicants, so being top of your list really matters. On the parent experience side, 79% of the 58 parents who responded to the Ofsted Parent View survey would recommend the school. The strongest signals come from how children feel: 57% strongly agreed that their child feels safe, and 48% strongly agreed their child is happy. Communication also scores well, with 50% strongly agreeing the school makes them aware of what their child will learn. However, it's worth noting that 21% of parents said they would not recommend the school, and concerns about SEND support and behaviour management drew more mixed responses.
