Stanton Cross Primary School
About Stanton Cross Primary School
Stanton Cross Primary School opened its doors to families with a clear signal of local demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 91 applications for 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 54. Of those, 54 families put it as their first preference, and all 54 were offered a place. Parent feedback from the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, shows that 69% of the 49 respondents would recommend the school. On individual questions, 86% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy, and a similar proportion felt their child does well. However, the picture is more mixed on SEND support: 66% of parents who answered the SEND-specific question disagreed or strongly disagreed that the school gives children with special educational needs the support they need, while 34% agreed or strongly agreed. The school's headteacher is Melissa Albert, and it operates as a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, with no religious character.
