About Valley View Primary School

Parents at Valley View Primary School are overwhelmingly positive about their experience, with 94% of respondents to the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school.

The school is clearly popular in the local area too. For the 2025/26 admissions round, Valley View received 84 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.8.
