The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2025 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it. In 2026 the school was not oversubscribed, so no distance limit applied.

The school holds a 'Requires improvement' judgement from Ofsted. 36% of its pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2, well below the national average (national figure: 61%). The proportion reaching the expected standard has risen by 19.0 percentage points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it in the lower half of primary schools nationally.

Getting a place is straightforward: for the September 2026 intake every family who made Maple Grove Primary School their first choice was offered one of its 22 Reception places. In 2025 the furthest child offered a place lived 2.12 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 8.4%. There are about 24.2 pupils per teacher.
