About Allenton Primary School

If you’re weighing up Allenton Primary School, the first thing to know is that local parents are keen to get in. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 54 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.7. All 20 first-preference families were offered a spot, which suggests that if you put it top of your list, you have a realistic chance. That level of demand is a strong signal from the community, even though the school doesn’t publish a formal parent satisfaction survey. The school is led by headteacher Jacqui Trowsdale and is a state primary for boys and girls aged 5 to 11 in Derby. It’s a non-religious school with no nursery or sixth form, and it currently has 300 pupils on roll against a capacity of 420, so there is some physical room to grow. A notably high 63.5% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national average and gives important context to the school’s results.
