About Worth Primary School

Worth Primary School is a popular choice among local families, with 78 applications for just 27 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.89. Of those 78 applicants, 21 listed the school as their first preference, and all 21 received an offer. This level of demand suggests the school has a strong reputation in the community, though the most recent Ofsted inspection in November 2023 rated the school as Requires Improvement overall. The inspection report noted that personal development and behaviour and attitudes are both Good, which may reassure parents about the day-to-day environment. The school’s previous inspection, back in 2009, had rated it Outstanding, so the change in grading is significant. With 206 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is nearly full, and the proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is low at 6.3 percent.
