About Welford Sibbertoft and Sulby Endowed School

If you're a parent weighing up Welford Sibbertoft and Sulby Endowed School, the early signals are mixed but worth a closer look. The school is oversubscribed for 2025/26, with 26 applications for 15 places and 20 first-preference applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 73. That suggests a solid local reputation, though it's not among the most fiercely contested primaries in West Northamptonshire. The school is a Church of England state primary with just 85 pupils on roll, well under its 105 capacity, so classes are small and the atmosphere is likely to feel intimate. ParentView data isn't available here, so you'd want to chat with other parents at the gate to get a sense of day-to-day satisfaction. The headteacher, Abbie Underwood, has been in post since at least the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2021, which judged the school as Good overall, with Good leadership and management. That's a solid foundation, though the previous graded inspection in 2012 had rated it Requires improvement, so the trajectory is positive.
