About Throckley Primary School

If you’re weighing up Throckley Primary School, the parent feedback is a good place to start. In the most recent Parent View survey, 95% of respondents said they would recommend the school, and the responses paint a picture of real satisfaction. 81% of parents strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion strongly agreed that their child feels safe. Behaviour is another strong point: 67% strongly agreed the school ensures pupils are well behaved, and 71% strongly agreed the school has high expectations for their child. The school is clearly popular, too. For the 2025/26 admissions round, it received 75 applications for 52 places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 1. 44 applicants per place. 48 of those applications were first-preference choices, and all 48 first-preference families were offered a place. That combination of strong parental endorsement and high demand suggests a school that local families trust and actively want to get into.
