What is The Blue School CofE Primary's Ofsted rating?

The Blue School CofE Primary was graded Good at its last Ofsted inspection, on 2 November 2022.

How do I apply for a place at The Blue School CofE Primary?

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 Church of England school it may also ask for a supplementary form, and its admissions policy says whether it does.

Does living near The Blue School CofE Primary guarantee a place?

No. Distance only counts when The Blue School CofE Primary has more applicants than places. Then its admission criteria, set by its governing body, 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 Church of England 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 The Blue School CofE Primary?
