About Bradwell Junior School

Bradwell Junior School is a small state primary in Derbyshire Dales, and the parent experience signals are mixed. The school does not have a published Parent View recommend percentage in the data, so that particular gauge is unavailable. However, the oversubscription picture is telling: the school has a capacity of 73 pupils but currently only 50 on roll, meaning it is operating at roughly 68% of capacity. That is a significant gap and suggests that local families are not rushing to secure a place here. For context, the local authority has 353 primary schools in total, with only nine rated Outstanding, so competition for the top-rated schools is fierce. Bradwell’s low roll may reflect parents voting with their feet, particularly given the school’s most recent Ofsted rating, which is a key factor many families weigh when choosing a primary.
