About Staveley CofE School

If you're looking for a primary school where parents feel their child is genuinely happy and well supported, Staveley CofE School is worth a close look. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering responses from September 2024 to September 2025, 90% of the 40 parents who responded said they would recommend the school. That's a strong vote of confidence. The detail backs it up: 78% strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 83% strongly agreed that their child feels safe. On behaviour, 57% strongly agreed the school ensures pupils are well behaved, and a combined 95% either agreed or strongly agreed that their child does well here. The school is also oversubscribed for the 2025/26 academic year, with 15 applications for just 7 places and an oversubscription ratio of 2. 14. All 7 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that for those who put it first, it's a realistic choice.
