About Abbey Gates Primary School

Abbey Gates Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, with a parent experience that speaks for itself through the numbers. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 83 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.77. Of those, 37 families put it as their first preference, and all 30 places went to first-preference applicants. That level of demand suggests a school that parents trust and actively want their children to attend. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary in Gedling, Nottinghamshire, for children aged 3 to 11, and it also offers nursery provision. Headteacher Abi Quant-Epps leads a school that currently has 242 pupils, which is above its stated capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is relatively low at 5.6%, which may reflect the character of the local area.
