About The Reddings Primary School

Ofsted's Parent View survey, based on 20 responses collected between September 2024 and September 2025, shows that 65% of parents would recommend The Reddings Primary School to others. This is a mixed picture, with 35% saying they would not. The school is clearly popular in terms of demand: for the 2025/26 academic year, it received 60 applications for just 23 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 61. All 18 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but the overall numbers mean many families miss out. On specific questions, the strongest positive signals come from happiness and safety, where 75% of parents either agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy and feels safe. However, 25% disagreed on both counts. Views on behaviour are more divided: 70% agreed the school ensures good behaviour, but 30% disagreed or strongly disagreed. The school's handling of concerns also splits opinion, with 50% agreeing concerns are dealt with properly and 25% disagreeing.
