About The Croft Primary School

Parents considering The Croft Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular locally. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 37 applications for just 17 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 18. Of those applications, 15 were first-preference choices, and all 15 received an offer, suggesting that families who put it top of their list are very likely to get in. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2022, rated it Good across every category: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. That consistent Good rating has been held since at least the previous inspection in 2012, which also judged overall effectiveness and leadership and management as Good. With 179 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, there is some room for growth, but the oversubscription figures indicate strong local demand.
