About Stanhope Barrington CofE Primary School

Parents at Stanhope Barrington CofE Primary School are overwhelmingly positive, with 89% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That figure comes from a survey period covering September 2024 to September 2025, with 38 responses. The school is also oversubscribed: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 8 total applications for just 6 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 33. All 6 first-preference applicants were offered a place. Looking at the survey detail, 94% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 95% felt their child is safe. On behaviour, 93% agreed the school ensures pupils are well behaved. The picture is slightly more mixed around SEND support: while 64% strongly agreed that children with SEND get the support they need, 27% strongly disagreed, which is a notable split worth investigating if your child has additional needs.
