How many families applied

Preferences expressed and offers made at Reception, as published by the Department for Education. These describe demand. They do not indicate whether any particular child would be offered a place.

In the 2025 intake, 46 families named John T Rice Infant and Nursery School as their first preference, and the school made 46 offers.

That is 1.00 first preferences per place offered, which places it above 53% of schools admitting at Reception in England that year.

More first preferences per place than 53% of comparable schools position among schools in England admitting at Reception, 2025 intake

More families are naming it first. Across the 5 most recent years held, first preferences per place averaged 0.97 in 2021–2022 and 1.07 in 2024–2025.

“Offers made” counts the offers the school made. It is not the number of places the school had, so please do not read it as one.

Ofsted

Ofsted changed its inspection framework: the current one publishes several graded areas and no single overall grade, while the previous one published an overall effectiveness grade. Each inspection below states which framework produced it.

Teachers staying and leaving

These come from the School Workforce Census, which follows each teacher into the next year. The numbers count full-time jobs, so a teacher who works half the week counts as half. They are not a count of people.

This is turnover among teachers. It says nothing about the headteacher or the senior leadership team: DfE publishes leadership retention separately and we do not hold it by school.

Catchment area

Nobody publishes a catchment area map for this school that we can read. That does not mean an address is outside its area. It means we hold no map, so we cannot tell you either way.
