Competition for places is real here - 62% of first-choice applicants were offered a Reception place for September 2026 (48 first choices for 30 places). Overall pupil absence was 4.2%. There are about 24.0 pupils per teacher. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
