About Bradley CofE Primary School

Bradley CofE Primary School is a small Church of England primary in the Derbyshire Dales, operating under Derbyshire local authority. Among the 353 primary schools in the county, it sits outside the very top tier occupied by peers such as Wessington Primary, Redhill Primary and Longford CofE Primary, all of which share the highest possible ranking score. With just 27 pupils on roll against a capacity of 49, Bradley is notably intimate, and its size is reflected in its admission figures: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received nine applications for four places, making it oversubscribed with a ratio of 2.25 applicants per place. Four first-preference families were offered a spot. The school’s religious character as Church of England adds a layer of local identity, and its headteacher, Nicola Foulds, leads a setting where the pupil body includes 11.1 per cent eligible for free school meals, slightly below the national average for primary schools.
