Questions about King David Primary School
What is King David Primary School's Ofsted rating?
King David Primary School's last overall grade from Ofsted was Outstanding, on 3 March 2016. Ofsted inspected it again on 19 April 2023 without giving a new overall grade.
How do I apply for a place at King David Primary School?
Apply through the council where you live by 15 January for a Reception place starting that September. Children start Reception in the September after their fourth birthday. You can usually list between 3 and 6 schools in order of preference, and offers are sent on 16 April, or the next working day. A place in its nursery class does not carry on into Reception, so you still need to apply. As a Jewish school it may also ask for a supplementary form, and its admissions policy says whether it does.
Does living near King David Primary School guarantee a place?
No. Distance only counts when King David Primary School has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its academy trust, decide who is offered a place first. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance or a catchment area. As a Jewish school, it can give priority to children on grounds of faith. How far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
How many pupils are at King David Primary School?
King David Primary School had 399 pupils aged 3 to 11 at the latest school census. Its official capacity is 425. It is a mixed school.
