About Whitley Village School

If you're looking for a primary school where parents are overwhelmingly positive, Whitley Village School makes a strong impression. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, every single parent who responded said they would recommend the school to other parents. That 100% recommendation rate is backed by exceptionally high satisfaction across the board: 86% of parents strongly agreed their child is happy, 93% strongly agreed their child feels safe, and 84% strongly agreed the school ensures pupils are well behaved. The school is clearly popular locally too. For the 2025/26 intake, it received 26 applications for just 13 places, an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. Of those, 14 were first-preference applications, and 12 first-preference offers were made. With only 75 pupils on roll against a capacity of 96, it's a small, close-knit setting where families clearly feel their children are thriving.
