Bingham Primary School
About Bingham Primary School
Bingham Primary School is a small state primary in the Nottinghamshire village of Bingham, and its intake numbers tell an interesting story. With 128 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is operating at just over 60% of its potential size, which is notably low for a primary in the area. However, that spare capacity doesn't reflect a lack of local demand. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 111 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 7 to one. Of those, 27 were first-preference applications, and exactly 27 first-preference offers were made — meaning every family who put Bingham first got a place, but the sheer volume of total applications suggests it's a popular choice beyond the immediate catchment. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 19. 5%, which is slightly above the national average for primary schools and gives the school a genuinely mixed intake in socioeconomic terms.
