About Windmill Primary School and Nursery
Parents at Windmill Primary School and Nursery are overwhelmingly positive, with 93% of respondents in the most recent Parent View survey saying they would recommend the school. The feedback is particularly strong on wellbeing: 99% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and 98% felt their child is safe. The school is clearly in high demand — for the 2025/26 intake, it received 92 applications for just 21 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4. 38 to one. All 18 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but with such a high ratio overall, securing a spot is competitive.

The only notable area of concern is SEND support, where 31% of parents disagreed that children get the support they need, though 69% agreed or strongly agreed.
