About Tangmere Primary Academy

Tangmere Primary Academy enjoys strong backing from its parent community, with 90% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. That confidence is reflected in its popularity: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 50 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.67. Of the 27 families who put it as their first preference, 24 were offered a place. Parents report particularly high satisfaction with how the school communicates about learning – 76% strongly agreed that the school makes them aware of what their child will learn, and 59% strongly agreed they are kept informed of progress. Feelings around safety are also very positive, with 77% strongly agreeing their child feels safe. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in June 2025, confirmed that standards are being maintained, and it continues to hold a Good rating overall, with leadership and management and early years provision both judged Good.
