About Yerbury Primary School

Yerbury Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 246 applications for just 60 places, giving it an oversubscription ratio of 4.1. Of those applicants, 100 put Yerbury as their first preference, and 54 of those families were offered a place. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation on the ground, and it’s consistent with the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, which rated it Outstanding across every category — quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. The previous inspection, back in 2009, also rated the school Outstanding overall, so this is a school that has sustained a very high standard over time. For parents weighing up their options, the combination of sustained Ofsted excellence and heavy oversubscription is a clear signal that this is a school in high demand.
