About The Icknield Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View survey for The Icknield Primary School, covering September 2024 to September 2025, shows that 94% of the 69 respondents would recommend the school to other parents. That's a strong signal of satisfaction, and it's backed up by the detail: 94% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 96% said the same about feeling safe. The school is clearly popular locally, too. For the 2025/26 academic year, it received 59 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.19. All 26 first-preference applicants were offered a place, so while it's in demand, being a first-choice pick gives you a solid chance. The school's most recent Ofsted inspection, in May 2025, rated it Good overall, with Outstanding marks for personal development and for leadership and management. That's a notable upgrade from its previous Good inspection in 2018, where those areas were rated Good.
