Bramcote CofE Primary School
About Bramcote CofE Primary School
Bramcote CofE Primary School is a state-funded Church of England primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, based in Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire. With 196 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210, the school is operating close to its physical limit, and demand is clearly strong. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 111 applications for just 30 places, with 34 of those applications coming as first preferences. That works out at 3.7 applications per place, a healthy oversubscription ratio that signals real local popularity. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 9.2%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools, suggesting a relatively advantaged intake. The school is led by headteacher Sarah Meredith and was most recently inspected by Ofsted in January 2022, when it was judged to remain Good overall, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections.
