About Brailsford CofE Primary School

Brailsford CofE Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 31 applications for just 20 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1.55. Of those applications, 18 were first-preference choices, and all 18 first-preference families were offered a place. This suggests that while the school is in demand, those who put it as their top option stand a very strong chance of getting in. The school is a Church of England primary in the Derbyshire Dales, with a current roll of 155 pupils against a capacity of 120, meaning it is operating above its official number. A nursery is attached, so families with younger children can get a foot in the door early. The headteacher is Nicola Foulds, and the school has held a Good rating from Ofsted since at least its 2015 inspection, with the most recent full graded inspection in 2019 confirming that standard.
