About Stephen Freeman Primary School

Stephen Freeman Primary School is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For entry in the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 153 applications for just 60 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 2.55. Of those applicants, 42 were offered a place as a first preference, from a total of 45 first-preference applications. This level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the community, though the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, from 2019, rated it Good overall. That represents a clear improvement from its previous inspection in 2017, when it was judged to require improvement. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were both rated Good in the 2019 inspection. With 449 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, the school is operating above its official capacity, which is another sign of its draw.
